" But the moment we reimagine the world as a buzzing hive of individuals with a variety of genders and complicated sexes and unique, passionate narratives that have yet to be told -- it makes them harder to ignore. They are no longer "women, cattle, and slaves" but active players in their own stories.

And ours.

Because when we choose to write stories, it's not just an individual story we're telling. It's theirs. And yours. And ours. We all exist together. It all happens here. It's muddy and complex and often tragic and terrifying. But ignoring half of it, and pretending there is only one way a woman lives or has ever lived – in relation to the men that surround her – is not a single act of erasure, but a political erasure. "
