You might also want to talk to the journal's faculty advisor to see if he/she is down with this silliness.

Hell, the dean is female, started a bunch of social justice groups in the school - including a journal, and I'm pretty sure she's a lesbian (although it being a Jesuit school that bit isn't talked about much), and I have never ever seen her in a skirt. The journal's faculty adviser has been, in my dealings with him, an enormous ass, so I won't bother with him. A few polite complaints in the dean's direction would be more effective.
What kills me is that I have a dress I'd be perfectly happy to wear, but no, they want a suit. With a skirt. Screw 'em.
