Would also be appropriate to say "a man without a chest," per C.S. Lewis.
More cynical nonsense from Foucault. Everything is "class." Except Foucault. "Class." How shallow. How one dimensional. And people wonder why I say "postmodern neomarxist."https://twitter.com/photochopaul/status/1455659920104177669 …

Foucault's "ressentiment" was a rallying cry for anyone who believed they were deserving and entitled to more than they had received and thus justified to hold existing "power structures" accountable for their personal failings. Perfectly suitable for academics.

That is a very middle-class take. I doubt that Foucault was being prescriptive. He was just being descriptive about society. He didn't care enough to change it.

foucault specifically critiques the hypothesis that everything boils down to class in Madness and Civilization, Discipline and Punish, and History of Sexuality
