If you were punished or harshly dealt with about eating and food and table
manners when you were a baby and toddler, then your child stepping out
of line (so to

of the same adaptations and solutions: playing both at femininity and masculinity as artificial roles,
speaking to each other in private in a different
manner than in public speech, and letting their work be
filled with their own, unnamed sensibility.
