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

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

But not if they still pay the woman less no matter how many awards she gets. How does it translate? How do you feel about men making way less in the adult film industry? Would men winning more awards change anything?

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

That’s a bad guess.

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.
