    Which is funny, because while it should be non-gendered, the Academy Awards still has separate categories for “Best (Supporting) Actor” and “Best (Supporting) Actress”. And unlike other competitions, the skills required and level of success is not objectively different between the sexes, so the differing categories exist as a relic from America’s more misogynist past.

      I imagine it could be more than a relic of the misogynistic past. It could also be in recognition of the misogynistic present, where women may not have all the same opportunities available to them as men in certain industries.
