-gologit2- is designed for the situation where the proportional odds
assumption is violated for some but not all variables. Having said
that, it is up to you to determine whether you believe the Brant test
(I am currently running a simulation on that, and will report the
results when they are in) and to determine that -gologit2- is otherwise
appropriate. This latter point can only be answered by the researcher
who has access to the data, knows how the data was collected, what the
research question is, what the theory is, etc. In the end you are
responsible for your analysis, you cannot delegate that responsibility
to some test, the statalist, or some eminent statistician /
econometrician.

The Brant test performs a series of -logit-s, so it does not respect
the fact that each individual belongs to one and only one category.
This can sometimes lead to weird results.
