    Women exist and are equal to men in artistic spheres. There is no reason they can’t compete for the same award.

    The need for separate recognition of men and women implies separate standards for men and women.

      If Hollywood considered them equal, they would be paid the same as men for similar roles. While that can happen, it’s still the exception. And usually only happens for women who’ve won awards.

      When Hollywood stops basing pay on gender, then we can get rid of the gendered awards.

        No actor is paid the same as any other actor wyd?

        They each have an individual value in the industry. Like if the rock is acting alongside Jennifer Aniston then the rock is obviously going to be paid more.

        And having separate categories solves that how? You’re just perpetuating the very thing you’re declaring is a problem.

          The current system is less than ideal, but at least with gendered awards, women have a shot at getting awards which translates into bigger future paychecks. What you’re proposing is that the same industry that currently ignores equal pay for women is somehow going to recognize them in a category against the men who are already getting paid more than them?!

            This doesn’t solve equal pay, it just perpetuates the misogynist notion that women aren’t good enough to compete with men.

                Is there a reason you’re quoting the comments I wrote back to me?

                  Strange that you don’t understand the implications of your own words. Replace gender with race. That should help you understand some of those implications.

                    There are no implications that you aren’t cryptically fabricating in your head.
