Who decides what goes on a kzine magazine?  Have you ever seen a kzine 
magazine?  No, you haven't, and that's because there's never been one.  You 
are not an authority on what _belongs_ on the cover of the zine.  In case 
you're unaware, the exact definitions of words such as good, evil, bad, and 
proper vary from person to person.  Don't force _your_views upon everybody 
else.

Also, the issue of the proposed cover being sexist has been dealt with in 
this list already.  The fact that the cover was created by a female without 
any prompting from other males is enough to shield us from any possibly 
damaging criticism directed at us by the community.
