@hearthmoon Not pure postmodernism. That was about dismantling discourses and identifying power-knowledge and so on. With postmodernism, that's all that could be done. Once you had the language, the discourses etc. on the floor, the philosophy offered no solution. To do something with it, well, that would create a discourse. It was a sort of playful philosophy in a way.

But my understanding is that gender ideology came out of post-postmodernist thought. What some call post modernism "applied." Post-post took the concepts and applied them in various areas - post-colonial, gender, intersectionality, fat studies and so on.
