Comment on Bella Ramsey Says ‘It’s Important’ to Keep Gendered Awards for Best Actor and Actress: ‘Recognition for Women in the Industry’ Must Be ‘Preserved’

  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.

      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?!

        Let me guess, you are against affirmative action as well.

      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.

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

  Please don’t reply to me with your misogyny.

    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.

      Its not an opportunity for them to be recognized, it’s an opportunity for them to be belittled. Like “oh you’re totally the best woman actor, congratulations! Maybe one day you’ll be as good as the men!”
