Because cutting and sewing works.

My mother repeatedly told me that she heartily anticipated my "growing up". Probably since I was 5, as that's the first instance I remember. But it was always said in such a way that I knew I was loved at that moment for what I was (5, 11, 19 years old), and that the love would change as I became more of a…

I was in Queensland during the state elections. One team had a radio campaign where they used two "blokes" conversing.

A mother's right as a (theoretcially matured) human being must be weighed against the rights of the child as a non-mature human being. Here, mother is describing the parent the child…
