EDITOR 1: At the risk of sounding sexist, maybe she needs to get laid.
EDITOR 2: I need to get laid! But I digress. I'm making a note to myself on this. There has got to be a relationship between the sexual activity or inactivity of writers and how they relate to their editors.
EDITOR 1: Let's call Trish over at the Sosh Department to see if this has some research grant potential.
