“There are many forms and usages of the word ‘we’ and the forms commonly used in the victim/perpetrator media are largely fictions. In general, generalized versions of ‘we’ create fictions of membership which exist only in language or abstraction… and have little or nothing to do with our actual relationships, memberships or lives… noticing this gives us the power to both read beyond (identify and invalidate) and live beyond such fictions.”
