    Perhaps it was more accessible to them for whatever reason.

So yeah, maybe patriarchy.

. . . but probably not.

First off, you're a dude spouting off about patriarchy, picking at me, a poster, who's by the way female, about what I chose to post. So your comments aren't sitting that well with me.

Second, until you find an article that says what Henry Rollins says that a woman wrote, your point is moot.

Third, Henry Rollins' popularity is not only a result of his gender, but a result of everything he's done. So, while I do believe that patriarchy is a problem and feminism is necessary in modern American and the world, until you can find me an article written by a similarly situated female that says essentially the same thing, please stop spouting your psuedo-educated comments.

I completely agree with your main points (but not the name calling).

What I did there was dumb, sure, but so is the notion that Rollins's is the definitive word on this case.

It's a good thing no one said that Rollins's words were, then, isn't it? In the past few days I've posted 4 articles about Steubenville, and I choose to keep it at four; there were others I could have posted and more I've seen posted, including an xojane article posted here, which should fulfill some of your yearnings for feminists speaking up on the topic, if you've seen it around. So, there's been plenty of talk about the subject on Hubski and from varied perspectives. This article is popular at the moment but it's by no means the only one.

I don't have a yearning. I apologize for posting the comment of a friend and nothing worthwhile of my own. Didn't intend to be a thread jerk.
