       Chapter seven is about constructed knowledge.  These women have graduated to this chapter of the book because they do have their inner voice, they are past the point of subjectivism, separatism or connectivism.  These women love to listen and communicate equally.  These ladies believe all knowledge is fluid and based on context.   Morals and truth are based on the context as well.  These women question their system of gaining knowledge because they are aware of varying truths from person to person so they question their system of acquiring knowledge at this time.  They are tying to merge their inner and outer voice to meld with the context.  These constructivist thinkers are passionate knowers who really enjoy the process of learning yet are scrupulous about how their gain their knowledge and they scrutinize people who consider themselves experts.  They enjoy what the book called "real talk"  meaning  they are aware that there might be no agreement in a conversation but the process of learning more about their world only reaffirms their own understanding and beliefs.  These women are still subject to scrutiny in male dominated social situations so they are very driven to be active in bringing forth their point of view.  Not in a n argumentative or negative way but in a deliberate and respectful way that only increases their credibility.
