And even if you don't know who writes what, the way people write can give things away about their personality or minority (or otherwise) status. Anonymity in these contexts to me at least seems like a fig leaf. You cannot really appeal to it.

To truly protect students you must actually have proper rules and training in place not just say "oh hey it's anonymised so it's unbiased".

That is absolutely true! Besides, they are bloody adults so perhaps we should not be that much concerned with anonymity but the fairness.

that might be the result of treating students as defenceless kids. More seriously we (my generation, not yours) have infantilised society.

Many complex reasons for this. Newton was teaching Physics at Cambridge when he was 16 and wasn't THAT unusual. People live longer now.

True again but the future (living longer) cannot affect the past (being an eternal teen) ;)

Yes it can. The ability to live longer might carry with it prolonged teen-like stages.
