Maybe, too, this is the place to bring it up. I clicked on Calls for Submissions on Facebook the other day and the first listing I see is Bone Bouquet: A New Journal of Women's Poetry. Of course, I am excluded from this journal, as I am excluded from Mezzo Cammin, Calyx and others by virtue of my gender. This ethics of exclusion is fascinating. Would a Journal of Men's Poetry even be allowed by today's standards? Here is a case where men are excluded deliberately by the magazine's submission standards, not by a some kind covert discriminatory principle.
