On Writers and Writing, by Margaret Atwood

Morrissey just wants to feel safe to spread his fruit fly wings and dance through the air creating delightful choreography, but he had to grow himself a human ability to defend himself and other fruit flies, because people, though finding honey bees to have a right to live, tend to find fruit flies annoying, and he doesn’t want to put up with that lack of appreciation for the ‘ballet’ of fruit flies anymore. I say ‘ballet’ between apostrophes because it’s too rigid and inhumane and forces especially females to ignore the sensation of their precious bodies being misused/damaged. Fruit flies would be flunkies of ‘ballet’ school, thank whatever god or gods you believe in.
