Politics / Teh Internets Henry Rollins On The Steubenville Rape Verdict
Posted by Kelly O on Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 11:29 AM
"I think to a great degree, we humans still divide ourselves into two species, even though we are monotypic. There are males and females. We see them as different and not equal. Things get better when women get more equality. That is a bit obvious but I think it leads to better results up the road. If it’s a man’s world as they say, then men, your world is a poorly run carnage fest."
Read the whole thing here. Most times, Rollins seems like a blow-hard. But this seems, to me, to be well-spoken. Whadda' you think?

I'm not really going to disagree that an improved curriculum in high school is needed, but ... I don't respect women because they've "been kicking ass in high threat conditions for ages." I respect women because they're people. (Also, self-interest, being one.)
If you need a high school class on top of the fact your mom is a woman (assuming she wasn't one of those terrible parents), many of your relatives are women, that several of your teachers are probably women, and that half the population is women, you may have some empathy problems.
I want to believe that the mere desire to be respected oneself should result in respecting others. But that's just something I want.
If that kind of formal, institutional education needed, I'm for it. Can't hurt.
