Maybe something like having then use a Role object and delegate the validation to object?

Part of me wants to create sub-entities called "Male…" and "Female…" because EOF will effectively validate relationships for me. Unfortunately, it's a pretty deep entity hierarchy and there would be a lot of entities that would have to fall into this category. Not to mention there are join tables that wouldn't have an M/F flag, but to stay consistent would have to be subclassed as well.
