It's Oscar season. Periodically, someone emerges from the underbrush to complain that Best Actor and Best Actress categories are still separate. Why would you segregate by gender, after all? You don't judge Best Sound Editing By a Woman and Best Sound Editing By a Man. Acting is acting. And in few of these roles is anyone required to lift large objects out of the front line — and even if they were, the consensus is that women are just fine doing that, thank you very much.
