The Johnson text describes how systems of privilege work. Select a US social structure or institution (e.g. the medical system, the police, the courts, the military, religion, education, the media). What role has that institution historically played in the social construction of gender and sexuality? Has the institution excluded and marginalized women, LGBQ, and transgender people? Is it still doing this? Has the institution used any of Johnson’s denial and resistance to “get off the hook”? Support your thesis with data and information from the text readings and at least three scholarly sources.
