........This really connects with Foucault, when he talks about biopolitics. I mean this is not in the same level as sterilization,or incarceration of prostitutes as shown in Briggs reading but the discourse is the same.

Some structure/figure of power: man, patriarchy, government policies, colonizers etc. establish and produce discourses of behavior
that if people, in this case women, don't follow they will be punish.

"Moreover, the claim to be able to rectify and manage working-class women's sexuality and labor was made by embodying certain kinds of gendered behavior." (Briggs 65)

I THINK SHAVING IS PUNISHMENT ENOUGH... gender behavior!

and how about guys shaving?!?! That also was seeing as the feminization and weakening of the male body. .........
