[Marsha] You wrote "I don't think one has to become a Zuni to gain an understanding of Zuni culture anymore that a man can not understand pregnancy without becoming pregnant."
A woman experiences pregnancy. A man does NOT experience pregnancy. [Krimel] I think in this context "to understand" meanings to find the commonality between one's experience and the experience of another to the extent possible. My wife and my daughter have experienced pregnancy but at least from my view point, they all have somewhat different experiences. Certainly, the insight they have into pregnancy has much more in common than I could ever have with any of them in virtue of the fact that their experiences have more overlap. But there are still big differences between their experiences. Just as one Zuni experiences Zuni culture differently from other Zunis. Understanding does not mean having identical experience it means finding as much common ground or as much overlap as we can between different experiences.
