    “Women don’t exist and don’t need recognition”

      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.

        Are you telling me there isn’t major sexism in Hollywood?

        I think they were trying to call out that women are still underrepresented in a lot of different ways. Removing gendered based awards reduces the opportunities for women to be recognized, if you believe they are underrepresented.

    While I agree in theory the problem in practice due to industry bias is basically only men will win

      And again, this doesn’t solve that problem.

        It solves the problem of Women not being recognised for their work.

    Yeah I’d have to say I’m in the “we need to keep the categories” camp but I admit I don’t know how we would properly acknowledge bi or non-gendered or anyone between or betwixt.

    And we should have a way because there is no reason someone like Bella (love them btw) won’t give an award winning performance as a bi-sexual or something and then wtf do we do.

    I don’t know the answer.

    That’s true as well. They could also create more categories I suppose.
