Examples

“It may seem paradoxical that in a culture that considers women to be cultural outsiders, perennial semichildren, the task of enculturating the young is entrusted to women.”

“They often seemed two sizes too big for the concave-chested semichildren within (hopefully that was a styling trick, if a distressing one, as opposed to just lazy tailoring).”
