  1. I think Kaplan emphasizes the extreme violation of the vehemently enforced prohibition of women in the public sphere speaks clearly to the necessity of defiance of norms. These signs of desocialization which manifest into political speak to the possibility of transformation of the system. The question remains though, in a society of men would women be able to reproduce this result? What about the absence of men becomes the catalyst for politically cognitive and active processes?
