The closest I've seen to traditional religious gender roles outside of that world is drag queen culture, weirdly? I don't mind it - i don't care if you're a drag queen or a housewife - just I wonder if this is evidence for the persistent allure of strong behavioral categories.

when you see a drag queen, what elements of womanhood do you see as being reinforced?

Femininity as performance? I know this is sort of vague, I'm trying to work this out. But there's 'markers' of stereotypical femininity - e.g., emotional responses, body language, references to fashion/shopping/makeup, reliance on appearance as primary value

Interesting. I was raised very religious as well and the two seem in very stark contrast to me. One is very loud and the other very quiet.

Definitely! There are definitely ways in which they're different; it's possible drag queens are actually closer to another subculture of strong gender roles that I'm less familiar with.
