A question of gender and class (4)
I believe the answer is:
form
I believe this is a double definition.
'a question of gender' is the first definition.
(F or M, female or male)
'class' is the second definition.
(I know that class can be written as form)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for form that I've seen before include "Fitness" , "Seat" , "Acceptable conduct" , "A class in a school or a hare's lair" , "Class in a school, or the shape of something" .)
