sent!

[redbird]

I have sent a copy of my resume, with a cover letter that emphasizes my familiarity with ACM (the resume makes that pretty clear, of course), to Alda.

Now I wait. And maybe have more tea, though I've had three mugs already this morning. But the sore throat has stopped being sore, so that's all right, even if I'm considering spending the day in my bathrobe.

Should I respond to someone who posted to the COPYEDITING-L list looking for a "woman feminist" editor for a vague project, or should I stick to my feminist principles and not answer an ad that discriminates on the grounds of gender?

>Hm. Maybe I should answer, and add that I'm interested to know what about the job makes the employee's gender important.

That's exactly how I would respond. It looks like the wolf is retreating a bit from your door (congratulations on the new copyediting job!) so it won't be hideously painful for you to stick to your principles.
