[Air-L] Contribution about Kim DotCom

[steffasong at aol.com]

Someone please tell me why it is absurd or offensive or sexist to specifically be looking for a female writer?


What's the context?  Does the museum employ 20 people all of whom are male?  Do they want to diversify?  If so, what's the problem with that?

Stephanie
