I agree with a lot of her points, but I think she could state it better. Oh well.

The biggest issue I see is women can never be not judged for their gender. If it's a guy at work they are defined by their interests or hobbies or weird personality quirks or whatever. If it's a woman, she's just a woman. And if she does something exceptional, she's a woman first and completed the project exceptionally second.

The first time I really noticed this was actually a thing was back when Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscar for Best Director. Every single fucking article for the next two days was "Woman wins best director!" It felt like her gender was more important than the actual film. While I accept its a notable accomplishment, I don't understand why her gender was such a necessary callout. If the article is an article on the fact that women haven't won best picture and she did and the history and blah blah blah, then I can see the necessity for that headline.

When the article was a short blurb about the the movie, the award, etc I really don't see why the headline should be any different that if any other movie had won. You call out it's critical acclaim, you list the theaters it's still playing at or the DVD price, and you mention who she thanked in her speech. Guy, girl, that doesn't matter. She won because of her expertise in directing, her hard work, her passion, the timeliness and political bullshit that she had to endure to get the acceptance of the Academy, not because she was a woman.

It's all over the place. I experience it at work, online, in the media. If I win or accomplish something, I was to be recognized because I have skills, not because I have a vagina. And afterwards I want people to remember my accomplishments as they are, not tied to my gender.
