    Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. By doing a sanctioned, parodic reversal of these structures they reify the structures' power. Iirc Trickster Makes This World by Lewis Hyde touched on the subject though I may be misremembering.

    Powderpuff Football is a much more typical version of this in US high schools, where female students play in a football game while football players and other male student athletes dress up as cheerleaders and perform on the sidelines.
