Why are women so marginalised by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

  • Zzz. It's age-old "news" that human beings have strong sexist biases. Ivory-tower researchers have done studies where they found that women professors of sociology rated random resumes of prospective-new-hire professors higher when those resumes had male names on them, and lower when those resumes had female names on them. Or just ask any stay-at-home dad - regardless of whether he lives in a "red" town, or a "blue" one - about how people react to his being a primary parent.

    At some point, articles like this really get annoying. It's like you're at a Moronville City Council meeting, where every idiot in town has come to complain about some particular pothole, and nobody has even half the brains needed to make the leap to "maybe we need a better strategy for keeping the streets properly paved". (Let alone the brains to develop or implement such a strategy.)
