Description
On the cool spring afternoon when my editorial staff and I sat down to choose from the stories submitted for this issue, we couldn't help but notice the unusual amount of articles focusing on women. Granted, most of our writers were female, but I was worried we might be deemed radical journalists who were using the magazine to promote a personal agenda.
Some editors were overjoyed with the idea. ''What's wrong with having one issue of Klipsun take a feminist slant? It's about time!" Others were not so enthusiastic. They envisioned the magazine becoming one of alternative media's men-bashers, intent on slamming the male of the species into the ground.
The room was growing warmer. while tiny leaves danced in the breeze outside, the windows of my managing editor's living room became steamy with a slew of concerned comments and tempers held (somewhat) in check.
We wrestled our options for a full three hours, finally settling into agreement. While we didn't want to bombard readers with too much of one topic, we realized this wasn't any different from other important issues we've addressed in the past - Generation X, AIDS, prejudice. In addition, we felt these women-oriented issues were important to both males and females alike.
