Cancel culture: What would you do about Michel Foucault, the alleged rapist paedophile?

According to the French-American professor Guy Sorman, his fellow intellectual Michel Foucault of was a "paedophile rapist." In an interview to The Sunday Times, Sorman said that he found out about Foucault's behaviour after visiting the late philosopher in Tunisia where he was living in 1969. "Young children were running after Foucault saying 'what about me? take me, take me,’" he said to The Sunday Times. "They were eight, nine, ten years old. He was throwing money at them and would say 'let’s meet at 10pm at the usual place.’ He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised." Sorman argued that Foucault was able to get away with this because of the racial element of his affairs. "Foucault would not have dared to do it in France… There is a colonial dimension to this. A white imperialism," Sorman said. Michel Foucault, who died in 1984, signed a petition in 1977, which sought to legalize sexual relations with children aged 13 or above. He discussed his views on the issue of sexual relations with minors along with writer Guy Hocquenghem and actor Jean Danet, in a conversation that was broadcast by France Culture on April 4, 1978. Talking about not criminalizing “consensual sexual relations” (for him “consensual” is broadly defined, even in the case of children), Foucault said in this dialogue: “Sexuality will become a threat in all social relations, in all relations between members of different age groups, in all relations between individuals. It is on this shadow, this phantom, this fear that the authorities would try to get a grip through an apparently generous and, at least general, legislation and through a series of particular interventions that would probably be made by the legal institutions, with the support of the medical institutions. And what we will have there is a new regime for the supervision of sexuality; in the second half of the 20th century it may well be decriminalized, but only to appear in the form of a danger, a universal danger, and this represents a considerable change. I would say that the danger lay there.” You can read the entire 1978 dialogue by clicking here.
