"And if they are that reactionary and anti-free speech, they would be a dangerous place to start a writing career"

That's exactly how I'm feeling right now. I'm so angry and disappointed. I've put a lot of time and effort into medium and the thought that it could all be wiped away by some indoctrinated puritan is infuriating.

And yeah, a few of my female friends were equally horrified that they didn't get it. It's amazing how subtle bias can be and how pervasive the societal influence is. What I find most frustrating is the ideologues who, when confronted with evidence of their anti-woman bias, don't care. And, in fact, just double down.
