class and culture

Remember Sherry Ortner's essay on "Reading America: Preliminary Notes on Class and Culture"? she talks so interestingly there about how gender and sexuality, carrying a secret burden of class meanings, give a "surplus" antagonism" to relations between working class-identified men and middle class-identified women. Seems as if Jimmy Corrigan is a great example of the phenomenon Ortner describes.
