Sexist Peer Reviewer Suggests Study Needs Male Authors

Twitter users getting angry has become meaningless to me. It seems to happen all the time. I just can't bring myself to care anymore.

If the study was well designed and well executed, there is no need to have men and women on the team. If, however, the researchers let their personal feelings color the study, then a mixed team would be better. Of course, if the researchers are letting their feelings color the study, the whole thing is worthless, anyway.
