I think the article is referring to "gender roles". That pre-colonization, the gender roles of a person in Africa were very different from the man/woman colonizer hell exported from the European capitalist church society. There was less rigid mapping for a persons sexual categorization, which the whitemen could not compute and deemed "deviant". This is seen in other places before Euro capitalism reached far away lands. I wish the article was longer and more in depth.
