Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s prior work on moral panics and ‘immodesty’ anxiety as male-driven class/identity signaling in the Complaints About Immodesty article.
• DEFINE: Establishes the Other-frames-the-dominant parallel: like race and anti-Semitism, gender subordination is defined by the dominant group’s projects.
