Evidence of discrimination against male economists.
First, she is offering to review papers of only female JMCs.
Second, she is doing this without getting punished.
Third, male economists (or males in general) got so insensitive about discrimination against themselves that they don't respond they have been discriminated against when asked by AEA.
Maybe because men are better at macroeconomics? Maybe the fact that they are better is because they have.m greater interest in the topic?
Of course, she will offer this to only women. Men have been always advantaged in history especially in the areas like macroeconomics or theory. It is important to support female economists. People who feel threatened by this have fragile masculinities.

Men are not objectively better at macroeconomics. Macroeconomics is a sexist club of men who are creating barriers of entry or "the bro culture" to exclude women.

Good trolling. But scary to think that ppl unironically think this
Claudia? I think I remember that name. Didn't she once tweet that she was never visiting EJMR ever again... and then about a week or a month afterwards she tweeted about something on EJMR.
If you are a dude and value her opinion then send her your paper as she doesn't seem to be consistent with her threats/commitments.
Claudia is a good person who used to be friendly with EJMR, until bunch of anonymous cowards drove her away with unwarranted hostility.
What she is doing is not discrimination. She generously provides free advice to JMCs but obviously her time is finite. She cannot do this for everybody so the offer is limited to a sub-group of people. If she had said I only offer the service to JMCs in my state/city would there be any issue? I bet not.

So, if some long-dead men an advantage in the profession over long-dead women in 1919, then today we should discriminate against men?
Because... justice demands that groups of people should be treated badly today because other groups of people were treated badly in the past???
Brilliant. I don't know why that never occurred to me.
