How the f**k do they tell the men from the women in pop nowadays anyway? They all look like aliens from the planet botox

Sure you're about 25 years late there Bambi, people were saying the same nonsense about Marilyn Manson and many others yonks ago.

Hell, Boy George in the 80's.

I think you're just getting old like the rest of us.

No, but they a nouns. Profession has nothing to do with it.

The poster you quoted was clearly talking about the names of professions. Your post was to do with personal pronouns. Two different things. In very few are there different words for men and women doing the same job. And there are less and less as time goes on ie. headteacher or principal instead of headmaster/mistress, flight attendant instead of air hostess/stewardess. It's how it should be. I'm still weirded out by my mother calling female doctors 'lady doctors'. Why the need for the 'lady' bit?

And, as said, I'm in my 30s and have always considered 'actor' to be a unisex word.

She changed her look a few years back and ended up resembling a prepubescent boy.

Deeply disturbing.

You know what? We should remove gender nouns from other languages. How dare you assume that chair is female. Or that clock is male.

Hohum.

These women need to look after themselves.


There are loads of very wealthy women in Hollywood so if they feel like women are not being given an equal chance then maybe they should consider setting up a production company that would give more female actors and directors a chance.

It's like all the whining Will Smith did a couple of years ago about black actors not being recognized by the Oscars or getting the same chance in films and all I could think was will you're worth $250 million why not use that money to make a difference instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.

I think reese witherspoon already has done so and fair play to her. They are trying to move in that direction for sure.

That's a much better thing to be doing than complaining about things and if every subsection of society that feels aggrieved had a more positive attitude and helped themselves then maybe things would be better.

I'm so sick of all this gender bullsh1t.

When did being offended become such a bad thing anyway?
