As expected, the media lapped up the idea of MTV giving out a Gender neutral Award; the LGBTQ (i?) groups are enthralled at the idea that people would finally be judged equally regardless of their gender. But the problem is… it’s nonsense. It will do nothing to promote “the genderless society”. It will in fact, end up creating larger divisions than before. As so often is the case, social engineering by agenda driven idiots, has idiotic results.
If we look at every other mainstream awards ceremony (let’s not actually watch the drivel, just a glance at the results will suffice), many of the “big awards” are dominated by men. Best Director (which is a gender neutral award) has only ever been won by one woman (Kathryn Bigelow for The Foot Locker). A gender neutral acting award (despite much manipulation) will end up being won by mostly men. And the reason is quite simple…Movies made by women, about women, aren’t that appealing to men; whereas the reverse is not true. There are of course exceptions; Jodie Foster is a great, well-respected director who makes films that appeal to all.
Another reason why this new award is such a poorly thought out piece of social propaganda, is that its name implies something other than it is. Emma Watson was the first winner, and she won by playing “Beauty” in Beauty and the Beast. The winners will still be the good-looking stars. They wil still promote gender stereotypes, feelings of inadequacy in normal looking folk, and the usage of fashion and makeup to “make a better you”. So until the “Hollywood Beauty Aspect” id removed, this is nothing more than virtue signaling.

For this to be run by MTV is surely the biggest clue that it is nothing but an affectation. MTV has promoted unrealistic beauty standards since it began. It has sold the “sexy singers” to us and decided its programming schedule based on what titillates…if 13 year old boys want to see scantily clad women, then that is what it provides. MTV without selling sex is radio, nothing more, nothing less.
There are huge female power players in the movie, music and TV industry. The ones who last are those that create appeal across the board. A common misconception is that it is hard for women directors and producers to get a start, but this is not completely true…It is hard for all directors and producers to get a start, especially if they are directing and producing movies that are only of real interest to (mostly) on sex. Consider Gale Anne Hurd. Nowadays, she is the top dog on the hugely successful Walking Dead, but she started out at a much, much lower level. Her career began under the Schlock Horror Master of B Movies, Roger Corman. She put in her time and paid her dues until she started her own production company which gave us films such as The Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss. She appealed to a market, not a gender.
The Gender Neutral acting awards are nothing but a publicity stunt. Shame on MTV for being so opportunistic and shame on its supporters for buying into their crap.
So aren’t they cutting the number of awards in half? Instead of best actor and best actress, you will just have one award for best acting performance???
Will the Oscars adopt this new format?? Stay tuned.
And what will they say if 80 percent of the merged acting honors go to men. Discrimination against females? So then the activist types will have yet another thing to bitch about???
There is an effort to have gender neutral driver’s licenses. The problem is that women get better rates on their auto insurance. Having a gender neutral driver’s license will cause women not to get the favorable rates.

Just like the Presidency, won’t the tallest person win?
And what’s so important about a “genderless society”? So a few people can feel comfortable living a lie? That means that I have to lie to accommodate them, as if my beliefs must take second place to theirs. So it establishes a second class citizen that has fewer rights.
I find the entire thing disgusting. Women are different than men. That is immutable. Look at movies from the Golden Age. The great actresses mesmerized us with performances as women, not as caricatures of men.
A more recent example in the Netflix drama “The Tudors” was quite impressive. In the episode where Katherine of Aragorn is called in front of Parliament to force her to admit she wasn’t Henry’s true wife she utterly dominates the proceedings with her grand feminine dignity. It is truly a masterful performance.
Trying to make women be like men only degrades both sexes.
The haters of family are plain and simple haters. They want us all
to gain the status of worker or soldier ant, without gender specificity. An evil agenda if there is one. I remember once someone calling communists “insects”.
Lol at “The Foot Locker”. Unintentionally funny typo?
Shhhhh!!!
Let them go, they’re rolling.
Prior to this year it was the “MTV Movie Awards”. This year it was the “MTV Movie and TV Awards”.
So they gave out a bunch of awards for TV shows in addition to movies, and to make up the time eliminated all of the “best actress” awards and instead used only the masculine term “actor” over and over again throughout the night.
There will be only a single (gender-neutral) award in each category each year - but it will be ensured that, over time, 50% of the awards are awarded to males, and 50% to females. Also, roughly 12% of the awards must go to Blacks, etc.

This "chick" who uses "they" to refer to herself instead of "she" suggested it. And the same sharp minds that took all music off of MTV thought it was so darn progressive that they just had to do it.

That permanent neck writing just screams class.
Hey, we’re back! I hope this past year has found you well.
This past year?
Lil’ joke about the lengthy down time. With everything going on the media, it felt like a year! Bad timing.
Did you go to the FB page and read comments there?
I liked reading the suggestions about servers and how John was driving all around the country looking for spare server parts.
