'For masterpieces are not single and solitary births...' is something I'd like to hammer into every single persons mind. If a woman / minority is not represented somewhere, it's because of a lack of individual opportunity AND opportunities over time to build a shared history. Skills are built on older skills, genius is built on older genius, and men won't help in building. No need to, when they have their own places.

(Random excerpt from another book in this book describing misogyny in Ancient Greece): I can't believe how fucked up that was. Getting a huge Asian and non-Western vibe from this. Very oriental. Did I mention how Asian this is. Feels like a harem. I can scarely believe it.
