I am sorry that you believe that I am unable to answer your question,
and I have tried in every manner that I know how to do so, and as I
mentioned in my other post, I am really unable to continue this at
this time.

I think, also, from your above statement, that you think that I am
trying to say that to reveal the construction of gender will topple
all social institution, and I do not know how you would have surmised
that from anything that I have written, as I never claimed that. I
was talking about enforcement mechanisms that relate to the points at
which gender affects each social institution.

Sin,
