Two thoughts:

1. If an editor is going to commit himself to believing that doing this is a constructive way to address feminist and gender issues, he's got to come up for an explanation for why he's not going to be doing that for 50% of the issues from now on. I mean, once you allow that it is a good idea to do it once, what possible reason could there be for not doing it every other issue, forever? Boy-girl-boy-girl?

Because there are non-sexist justifications for never doing special Lady Issues, and there are non-sexist justifications for doing them half the time or, indeed, all the time, but I can't think of any non-sexist justifications for doing one, once.

2. "feminine speculative literature" lol forever.
