    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?

          There’s at least one study showing men get an 81% increase in money after a big award win, whereas woman get much, much less but usually something more and greater creative control of which projects they do. If they’re all lumped in the same category, men continue to win the awards and get pay bumps and women get nothing at all.

          Not going to bother with an opinion on the adult film industry as that’s ostensibly a similar business but has hugely different economics. Not sure it’s really relevant to this discussion as generally, female performers in adult films go through much more difficulties than their male counterparts - they’re literally not doing the same job, whereas in the mainstream film industry they are.

            Lol it’s almost like they are good at acting and that is why they get the award in the first place. How is it to live in a world where the sun only rises because your rooster crows?
            Just say you never have watch porn. “Difficulties.” Is not a very mature or healthy way to describe sex. Sheesh men take dick too homie very narrow minded of you.

            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.

                  I’m sure I am also fabricating those up votes too. Is it really that hard to apply your own principle to a different situation or are you pretending to be obtuse?

                    If you’re ignorant enough to think that up/downvotes mean anything at all then I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re unable to comprehend the nuance of this discussion and instead choose to argue by completely and intentionally misrepresenting my statements. You can go away now.
