unmarked cases

I read and loved this post of Dw3t-Hthr's when it was first posted, but I didn't realise at the time just how *useful* the concept is. I've since discovered myself referring to unmarked cases like everyone knows what I mean, so I figure I'll put up a link so that people have a chance in hell of understanding me. Also, it's a super post and you should read it even if you plan to never encounter my writing again.

I got that bit of terminology, oddly enough, off a discussion on rec.arts.sf.composition a few years ago. I can't remember the context of it, but it wound up going off into something about the unmarked case of business clothing being a suit, with obvious resulting problems for professional-class women.
