“Cages. Consider a birdcage. If you look very closely at just one wire in the cage, you cannot see… why a bird would not just fly around the wire any time it wanted to go somewhere…. It is only when you… take a macroscopic view of the whole cage, that you can see why the bird does not go anywhere… the bird is surrounded by a network of systematically related barriers… which, by their relations to each other, are as confining as the solid walls of a dungeon.”

– Marilyn Frye, "Oppression" from Politics Of Reality (1983)
