rynlingDispirited Away: The Peer Review Process

Peer review is racist and sexist! Who would have thought that allowing academics to say anything they want behind a veil of anonymity would result in misbehavior? Shocking.
And who would have thought that publishing something like this would result in such a strong backlash against the author that she would have to lock her Twitter account? It's almost as if anonymous peer review selects for a certain type of person whose career is advanced by how hateful they can be to their colleagues.
Yeah. Anyway. This is extremely depressing. Content warning for everything. What the author is saying is absolutely true, but please be aware that you read it at the risk of your own mental health.
