Right. Because I never, ever write about that kind of stuff here. Buh-bye! (Again!)

Tomorrow is the day we mark the death of 14 women slaughtered while the executioner shouted that FEMINISTS were responsible for his failures. ONE example. Millions of women have been raped, beaten, murdered, left to die ground up and fed to pigs in a farm in Vancouver, 400 missing and murdered aborginal women in recent history, women burned at the stake because they were the FEMALE SEX. Historiann shame on you.

Jon–don’t bother, but you’re right of course. River is just a troll who doesn’t probably care about feminist issues at all. (Otherwise, ze would be working for social justice at all times, rather than flaming random blogs and attacking little academic journals!)

and so are trans* people, in much higher proportions. But your faux social justice stance fails to mention them, though that would seem to be more relevant.

Actually, I’m quite sure that there is no grant money attached to this project whatsoever. Academics traditionally offer volunteer, not paid labor, when editing journals, and all authors are entirely unpaid for academic articles. So, please don’t lose sleep over the notion that anyone is further deprived or suffering as a result of one specially-edited edition of a journal.

What crawled up your ass and died? (Oh, pardon me for speaking frankly and plainly!)

It makes me really angry that women go hungry and homeless and are pimped out for their SEX while money is given for grants and salaries for bullshit like this. Oh pardon me for speaking frankly and plainly.

Thanks Ann for posting this. I am really excited to have the opportunity to put together a special issue devoted to thinking about sex and gender in early America beyond the binary. I welcome submissions on religion, migration, race and ethnicity, history of the body, and other subjects. If anyone has any questions they should feel free to email me at rcleves@uvic.ca
Cheers!

It’s a really great journal that’s been edited with distinction for a little over a decade now, and that will move on with a new burst of editorial energy and vision under Dallett Hemphill, so I would say, yeah, go for it.
