The real move here is probably to allow the Nominee to select the category that they think best suits them.
non-binary wouldn’t fit in either existing category. The real move here would be to eliminate gendered categories since this isn’t even a sport and no gender has any distinct advantage.
“Women don’t exist and don’t need recognition”
Please don’t reply to me with your misogyny.
That’s true as well. They could also create more categories I suppose.
They should have a category for Best Chris
While I agree in theory the problem in practice due to industry bias and sexism is basically only men will win
And again, this doesn’t solve that problem.
Once again the title of the article says ‘gender’ but the entire article only mentions sexes. Come on…
A brief explanation:
‘Man’ and ‘woman’ are now binary references to the individual’s gender if known to be such, or appearance if said individual presents as mostly masculine or feminine in a social setting, as the terms have always been used to refer to a person. In contrast, ‘male’ and ‘female’ are references to the individual’s sex and genitalia. Gender is not sex.Additionally:
Gender is the name given to an aspect of personality relating to a few traits that have been defined by current societal ideals as masculine or feminine, quantified with a whole set of labels because people must be quantifiable by tickboxes, apparently. Sex is originally assigned at birth by many hospitals and population censuses once the existence of reproductive organs on the individual has been verified as male or female, and regardless of whether an internal reproductive system transplant takes place, can be changed.Older folk are confused, because they’ve been referring to sexes as genders for decades. We need to get this right.
We need to get this right.
Step one is going to be working out vocabulary among yourselves before you start trying to teach it to us. I used to try to be correct, but the “correct” tends changed from person to person, group to group, and every six months or so.
Once you’ve figured it out, let us old folks know, and most of us will, I hope, make the adjustment.
You can try to use the new corrections every six months or so? As for who to go for, it’s legitimately your choice. In the end the flow of language has to be ridden rather than restricted aha
The definition of a word is how people use it.
No idea about the context of this, and I refuse to read the article. The title strikes me as implying women wouldn’t be able to win awards if the categories were unisex, which I don’t agree with.
The “Ensors”, awards for the Flemish audiovisual sector introduced gender neutral awards last year.
Surprise, all awards went to men.
There’s a huge inequality within the sector already, it’s not surprising that that reflects in the awards given. It’s the same as being surprised that the CEO of the year awards yet again goes to a rich white guy.
Without spoiling the show, get up to date with the show.
gross
How misogynistic of you.
Why can’t you both preserve and add to?
I mean, that seems relatively obvious to me (best actor and actress being separate categories that is), and I bet they’re trying to stir up shit from a really simple statement she made? Quite possibly they also stoop to hand-wringing about “whatever category should we put a transgender person in?” too.
I refuse to read the article and give them clicks though.
I for one look forward to the day that a trans person wins best actor and actress both before and after transition.
Wait… entertainment awards are gender segregated?
