    At Queen Victoria time, the British Parliament passed a law making
    illegal the homosexuality between male partners. Why only male, and
    not female? Because making illegal the homosexuality between females
    partners requires first to acknowledge that such a thing could exist,
    an idea totally unacceptable at that time.

    To establish a double blind review system requires first to
    acknowledge that reviewers might be dishonest. Is that acceptable?
