Agreed and from what I understand, serious female actors prefer not to be associated with a gender because they're doing the same job as the men. We don't have gender specific terms for almost any other job title so why have one for actors?

[–]One__upper__ 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (53子コメント)

No, most women who call themselves feminists these days are pretty horrible people. When the majority of a group are a certain way, it's fairly reasonable to classify the group by those people. It's like saying that the Nazis were evil. I'm sure there were some good people that were Nazis, but the majority of them were evil scum so it's safe to call and classify the whole group as such. If feminists want to be thought of as not what the vocal majority of them seem to be, they need to become more vocal themselves about what they stand for and what they are trying to achieve. Same thing with BLM. I feel that it's a shit, hateful, immoral group because the majority of them are indeed that. If they want to change that perception they need to be vocal and espouse those different goals and thoughts.

[–]ThatFlySlyGuy 76 ポイント77 ポイント  (27子コメント)

"Most women" based on what your daily fap sessions to feminist cringe compilations on youtube? I see comments like this and it generally comes from people whose world view is so skewed by anecdotal incidents that you're unable to look at a situation objectively. This whole anti-feminist movement, while some of it is legitimate, produces a lot of vile extremists, whose actions in turn create more extreme feminists. Both sides are so busy attacking each other that they don't realize they're both creating a climate for the worst of the worst. As a neutral party I can see the crazies on both sides, but also understand that the sides themselves are not inherently crazy.

This is so retarded. You judge a movement by it's values not the people in it.

Isn't "actor" a gender-neutral term now? Sort of like flight-attendant? I know it's more recently used in this way, but certainly nothing to freak out over on either side.

[–]clickclick-boom 137 ポイント138 ポイント  (43子コメント)

It's a poor evolution of the language, and although the convention exists it's not universally used at all for practical purposes. I used to have to hire talent for commercials, trailers and other work and it's useful to be able to distinguish between genders with a single word. It's also useful to have a gender neutral term that is all encompassing when it fits the context. That's the case with language in general, and this change is a step back.

Take the term "parent", that's a gender neutral term. But it would be ridiculous and impractical to do away with mother and father because there are times in which you are directly referencing one gender. For some roles I agree it doesn't matter, but again the optimal is to have a gender neutral term and then gendered terms for when the situation calls for it. Other languages like latin languages even use gendered articles, so even though the word for "judge" in Spanish is the gender neutral "juez" it's preceded by either "el" or "la", removing ambiguiti.

[–]emefluence 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (7子コメント)

But it would be ridiculous and impractical to do away with mother and father because there are times in which you are directly referencing one gender.

Yes there are times you want to gendered version, like here, where gender is the subject of our discussion but the vast majority of the time the gender-neutral term should be used but isn't. As a father who has been my children's primary carer for a few years I can tell you everything to do with kids is very mum/mom centric: places, products, clubs you name it - as a dad I feel slightly excluded which doesn't bother me greatly but it shows that without nudging society will never adopt newer, better conventions. I don't think actor is a retrograde step, and I think it's fair for women to ask that they be called that, after all there's no doctoress or soldierette and women are some way from having equal reresentation in TV and cinema, see: http://www.indiewire.com/2015/02/sorry-ladies-study-on-women-in-film-and-television-confirms-the-worst-65220/

[–]clickclick-boom 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (5子コメント)

To be clear, I'm not saying the use of a gender neutral term is a retrograde step, I'm saying the use of "actor" is because it creates ambiguity due to "actor" already being in use as a gendered term for a long time. To use your parent example, it would be like doing away with "father" and just calling every parent "mother". Women already have a term that represents them in acting, it's an actress. When I would write process documents for the place I worked I would always be careful to use gender neutral terms when appropriate, in part because you don't want to cause confusion. I would use "talent" a lot, because in a document where I'm talking about actors and actresses then I didn't want any confusion between when I'm being gender specific or when I'm talking about the profession. I would be fine if they made up a brand new term like "acti" or anything else. I just want male, female, neutral. Using actor for all three is a step back.

"Who is the lead actor in Pretty Woman?"

This could mean: "Who is the lead actor (talent) in Pretty Woman?" "Who is the lead actor (male) in pretty Woman?" "Who is the lead actor (actress) in Pretty Woman?"

Compare to: "Who is the lead talent in Pretty Woman?" "Who is the lead actor in Pretty Woman?" "Who is the lead actress in Pretty Woman?"

Other languages have this built into them, to the point where even if the profession is gender neutral the article preceding it clarifies the intent.

[–]dilberto123 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pretty good explanations. A gender-indicative term for people who act is necessitated by the industry's clear need to delineate between male or female people, depending on the needs of the role to be filled. Having to type "a female actor" all the time would be doable, I guess, except you don't have to because there's a word that means exactly that: actress.

[–]dukmunky 160 ポイント161 ポイント  (46子コメント)

I don't think so. That's why there's a best actor and best actress at the Oscar's.

[–]Fleagled 56 ポイント57 ポイント  (23子コメント)

I think u/clickclick-boom summed it up quite nicely. It's not that actor/actress isn't used as a useful way to separate the genders for the purpose of concentrating on one or the other but Actor is also used as an umbrella term for anyone acting.

[–]TriangleDimes 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Some people use it, some people don't. It's not like we got together as a society and stopped using actress, it's still used often by a large amount of people so it's always going to skew the results. My problem is the reference seems so specific it's just one stupid girl or it's fake. It's more like /r/quityourbullshit at best

[–]Stewbodies 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, I believe it's two different definitions for the term. So searching for actor would skew male, but include actresses, and searching for actress would return almost exclusively actresses.

[–]Tappen_Zee 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yea, but it's still picking a bullshit flight. The term actor is predominantly used for men even though it's gender neutral. If you're looking specifically for a "woman actor" then you would just type in actress to begin with. Try googling "flight attendant" or "nurse." Those are even more gender neutral as they're mutually exclusive and there is no separate terms for different gender. It's just overall a silly argument to try to pick.

[–]One__upper__ 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Uh, women can't be sexist towards men so obviously your excellent examples here should be instantly discarded and ignored.

[–]Ness_tech 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (4子コメント)

So if you think about it females have 2 terms to define them while males only have 1. So googling "actor" you might find a woman but you will never find a male googling "actress". That's so unfair to men! This world is against us and ruled by demons! Satan is a woman! Menimists unite!

[–]Life2Infidels 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (2子コメント)

The word actor refers to a person who acts regardless of gender, while actress refers specifically to a female person who acts; therefore a female can be referred to by either term. The Oxford English Dictionary states that originally "actor" was used for both sexes. The English word actress does not derive from the Latin actrix, probably not even by way of French actrice; according to the Oxford English Dictionary, actress was "probably formed independently" in English. As actress is a specifically feminine word, some groups assert that the word is sexist. Gender-neutral usage of actor has re-emerged in modern English, especially when referring to male and female performers collectively, but actress remains the common term used in major acting awards given to female recipients and is common in general usage.

Well actor has re-emerged as a gender-neutral term in the last decade (maybe two) but throughout the 20th century 'actress' was the dominant word for a female actor. If I had to guess I'd say actress is still the more commonly used word for a female actor.

[–]abend954 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (11子コメント)

If that is the case, then why does the word "actress" exist?

[–]old_el_paso 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm no expert, but it came about the 1600's when women started acting (previous, all roles, male or female, were played on stage by men, or often boys when it came to the female role). So it's kind of this weird dichotomy, where 'actor' is gender neutral, but 'actress' came about to specifically refer to female actors.

Think of it as similar to how "authoress" is a female author, but nobody seems to view the word "author" as being gender specific, and the term "authoress" is rarely used anymore.

Can't be the thousands of people finding isolated incidents involving someone dumb and using it to feel better about their selves.

Wait, isn't actor a term for both genders? btw, the first result for the word actress is will smith.

And you know the day is coming when all the non-genders will whine and cry for their own classifications, because they choose to not identify with male or female. They are gender neutral. I have a few choice classifications for them...

Well... if you speak english you know that actor refers to both male and female. So that guy who replied is actually the fucking idiot. And if you upvoted this... you are an idiot too.

I'd wager that she takes hundreds of vain selfies for attention but also complains about women being objectified and/or only valued for their looks.

i'd wager that you make hundreds of judgmental comments for attention and also complain about other people who are seeking attention.

But actor refers to both men and women. Why is this upvoted?

Once upon a time maybe, it was female actresses that coined the term actress and lead the charge to separate the genders threw the word actress.

I had a teacher in college who marked down a paper I wrote for using actress in the paper, she said I was using an antiquated and sexist term.

I've never seen anyone complain about someone who speaks spanish referring to a dog as "el perro" without knowing it's sex. Sure, if you know it's a female dog, you're going to call it "la perra" the feminine form. All actresses are actors, but not all actors are actresses...
