I played with this, and couldn't get
all you want. But a subtlety here is that the
axis of concern is a categorical x axis,
not an x axis, strict sense. You can suppress
the labels by e.g. over(sex, label(nolabels))
but that perhaps goes too far the other way.
Alternatively
over() over() over()
puts everything on one image.
