    Suggestion

    The author should familiarize herself with how one sets about writing an Op-Ed for The New York Times. It's no great mystery: you write your piece at appropriate length and submit it by email. Let's not give Broadsheet readers the impression that The Times is commissioning men rather than women to produce these pieces. Op-Ed writers commission themselves.

    If you believe that a piece by a woman has been rejected in favor of an inferior piece by a man, I'm confident Broadsheet or Table Talk will help you share the piece and the injustice.

    By all means fight any bias, but please show you've attempted to work within The Times's system, as men do.
