Reddit's great if you know how to use it and properly play to its strengths to enhance your experience on the site.

Its best feature is subreddits, ie. your ability to exactly customize what variety of content you do and do not want to be exposed to. Also, you can use filtereddit on RES to filter keywords or websites you have no interest in. There's a lot of great content and great contributors on reddit in addition to the terrible content, and reddit optimizes itself so that you can get exactly the experience you want. Take advantage of it.

You think that's bad? He chose combat rock over Self-titled, Give 'Em Enough Rope, and London Calling. That should be a federal offense.

One doesn't exclude the other, no, but one also doesn't imply the other. As I said, just because it's focus is on women more so than it is men, it doesn't follow that it must be associated with patriarchy. It's focus is on women likely because that's just what the consumers of celebrity tabloids will eat up and buy, and the main consumers of tabloid media are women. I can only speculate as to why those type of women would get satisfaction from the humiliation and degradation of celebrities, but I'm skeptical of the knee-jerk reaction to merely dismiss it off as patriarchy rather than give it the scrutiny and consideration it deserves.
