I meant to dismiss the idea of subject coverage; to say that they  
didn't have equal coverage, but that's not really an issue. Of course  
it didn't work... and I'd say my tact was off, and for that I  
apologize. I merely meant that if we had a significant teenage female  
editing base as we do male, these subjects would perhaps be neglected  
less.

However! The editorial aspects of women's roles as editors as it  
plays into policy is far more interesting and pertinent.
