âIâm studying to become a lawyer for my friendâs upcoming court caseâ said no-one ever.
So apart from âbecause Joey from Friends did itâ why are people spending thousands of dollars and more than a year of their life becoming a celebrant instead of hiring a professional?

Very very few stories are worth telling in their infancy. Most require research, understanding, context, empathy, and nuance.
For example, what if a story about girls twerking on a navy ship in front of the Governor General was held onto for a a day and some research was done?
But we as a society have decided not to invest in that research. We complain if a news website needs us to pay a subscription, and we scream about defunding the ABC if they don't say what we want.
So we end up with an angry story that's not entirely true, based on the premise that girls shouldn't dance on boats.
If you think about it, aren't we all twerking seamen on the navy ship of our lives? Thanks for getting to the end of this, I really just wanted you to consider yourself as a twerking sailor.

"I promise you that no-one is coming for your son's head. The data is clear, the number of false accusations that stick is negligible. If your son does not cross the line, if he doesn't teeter on the "edge of consent", if he doesn't misuse his power to control or belittle others, he will be just fine. But it's not bad behaviour we should be getting out in front of, extinguishing potential fires. We should expect more of our boys. We should be expecting good behaviour, because when it comes down to it, we all want our men to grow up feeling powerful and strong, but in their values of equality, respect and dignity."
