One could see the over-inscribing of gender as a backlash against something that is nearly manifest.

I expect that's overstating the case.

My (B.A.) anthro program focused on ethnographic interviewing and forming taxonomies. Tattooists, while of course having norms, have an attitude of going their own way, rebelling etc. Might need to approach it more like banana-leaf wealth or the Kula ring.

In a lot of my posts there's no discussion at all, so any contrib would be 100% improvement.
