Abstract: In academia, hegemonic patriarchal norms equate scientific quality with masculinity, and reviewing has followed in this tradition often channeling an angry army general instead of an empathetic peer invested in supporting the development of a manuscript. Indeed, femininity and emotionality are ostracized in favor of “rational” and “scholarly” (masculine) “science.” What can, then, critical femininity offer reviewing? In this piece, I put a case forward for reviewing with empathy.
