Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

If one person cheats other person, it means they injure these persons. The author thinks that in contracts one way dealing is accepted, not double dealing.
Another point of the author is that buying and selling can be ...
