So many white male editors in US media go out of their way to remind us they are gatekeepers of patriarchy - whether it’s in who they hire/don’t hire, who they publish/don’t publish, and the predators they often protect and enable.
And then we spend days raging on social media, jumping through misogynist hoops trying to prove them wrong e.g. when I read that Goldberg comment I was like fuck you I’ve written 2 books, total word count 140k words. The simpler version is just fuck you.
ICYMI: this is the editor in chief of The Atlantic magazine
Imagine if an editor-in-chief of a major magazine in the Middle East said that 👆🏽
I’m done raging because I’m working on a new book proposal. 10k words are a chapter. Pre-order my new book, via @BeaconPressBks this September (links in pinned tweet) and read 9 chapters!
