Just wanted to mention that I've got threads about LEGO and gender up, as well as two about Woman as Lost Loves (there is an implied compare contrast between those considerations, but not fully constructed.)
I suspect that anthropology would have some similar method issues with fandom as I did when interviewing tattooists, but not a few of those were needing more theory.
I think if the gender scripts accepted more overlapping of fields, outliers wouldn't be such 'you don't fit' and more 'oh, wow, that's interesting.' Given the cultures that came up with different answers than one to one assortment gender-biosex... And there are some that are much more concerned with relative age than gender.
