The spotlight was on female artists who swept the top honors at the Grammy Awards last night. Meanwhile, at the Academy Awards next month, women won’t be permitted to compete with men in several acting categories. These outdated Oscar traditions of keeping male and female actors in separate categories perpetuates harmful stereotypes about gender and women.
In 2012, the Grammys removed gendered categories, allowing men and women to compete against each other for all awards. Previously, prizes were awarded, for example, to the top male pop performer and the top female pop performer. This approach harkens back to the origins of the Academy Awards in 1929, a time when gender roles in society and the workplace were markedly different from today. Women had only recently won the right to vote and were still several decades away from equal rights at work, so it may have been reasonable to offer separate awards then.
