Gender based categories create an even playing field. Without them, women would never win anything. Exactly. The women are the ones who will be worse off by this decision. Will the Oscars etc follow suit? They really shouldn't imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolkins 4,125 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think when it comes to something like music it probably is enough of an even playing field these days to be able to share categories, it obviously works fine for the Grammys. Not the bore worms!

I think the person should choose which category they’d best fit in. There is no perfect answer here, but I have to defend the women who have defended gay rights for decades. They deserve an even playing field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 21,104 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I don't understand why separate them in the first place. It makes sense in certain fields but not here. And if it's a question of some categories having less chances than others, then why just separate men and women? The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!
