"What, you desk rejected my paper. Can' t I just revise and resubmit?"

This question comes up a lot. Via @bowmanspartan.bsky.social:

"We prefer desk reject over an editor-only revise and resubmit for three main reasons: avoiding delays, reducing snap judgements, and securing reviews."

How so?

Have you ever showed up to a medical appointment in pain and had your pain discredited or disbelieved?

This experience is common for women with chronic pain.
