FemSoc hate me.

Although at least one person seems to have not actually read the article. She was way off-base, as if someone had told her what my review said, and put down an opinion on an article I never wrote.

I noticed the webmaster put a copy of the article on the next post after the suspicious one.

They've also started a poll, determining how fair they thought the review was. There's actually more people on the indifferent/fair/very fair side of it than there are who actually view it negatively, so I take that as a good sign.

Also an interesting question complaining that a guy was deliberately chosen to do the review. I quote: "maybe in future the arts editior should give some more thought as to whome she asks to give a review of plays in future?"

More thought? Less thought, surely. Draw it out of a hat. The only other alternatives are a hermaphrodite reviewer or a female reviewer. You're not likely to find many hermaphrodites with journalistic ability on campus, so that leaves...

Shit...

It means deliberately picking a female reviewer, so that you get a more favourable review. Shit, isn't that a) sexist, and b) arrogant to assume that a female reviewer is incapable of spotting the same bits I took issue with?
