Time after time, the repetitions of this phrase makes it turn into a life&#8217;s program, limiting and shaping the inner urge to follow someone&#8217;s set up rules rather than live a full life, self-confidently. &#8220;You&#8217;re supposed to be a girl&#8221; is subsequently replaced by a natural &#8220;a woman should&#8221; and thus gets to run in the family. Potential, with which any person, regardless of sex, may be endowed from birth, is ruthlessly cut up with the seamstress&#8217;s scissors.

Handiwork, usually associated with painstaking craftsmanship, appears here to be deliberately rude &#8211; the unconsciously repressed Bad Girl broke loose and chopped up kitchen paper with a blunt ax (hitting someone&#8217;s fingers). Cloth, lace &#8211; usually a compliant material &#8211; were attacked a la Lucio Fontana, re-appropriating connotations of vaginal incisions.
