It doesn’t seem fair to a lot of Ripley.

I like Pat Benatar a lot, I think she's underrated. However, I don't think an argument can really be made that Stevie shouldn't be in the HoF because someone else isn't, you know what I mean? And I'm not sure that Pat has or had a stronger solo career than Stevie, either. Steve's last 3 albums charted pretty high, much much higher than any of Pat's in the last decade.
When I think of other women in similar situations as Stevie- in a group and solo, there's Belinda Carlisle and the Go-Go's, Beyonce and Destiny's Child, and Diana Ross and the Supremes are the only ones I can think of right away, and Stevie is the only one who still juggles both successfully. I don't know, I think that gives her an edge.
