Why aren't ageism and homophobia in the workplace relevant when other
issues about work environment are ok to talk about? I don't get it.
If these problems occur in the workplace, they are relevant to a
discussion of technical writing that is not entirely academic or
theoretical, which ours clearly aren't. Moreover, excluding these from
discussion HAS a political meaning and consequence.
