They can be, if they change their gender identity. Same way they’d become actors or waiters. Blame the 8 languages duct taped together that form English.
There’s no need. “An actor” / “a hero” is already a gender neutral term in common usage, no matter how archaic your inner world is or whatever conservative bumfucknowhere you live in.
So the male version of the word is the default? That’s sexist.
Sometimes common usage is wrong. That’s the whole reason society is having a discussion about pronouns and gendered language. You need to do better, no matter how archaic your inner world is or whatever conservative bumfucknowhere you live in.
Okay so what youre saying is that we should differentiate between male and female actors with specific words to… ensure heteronormativity in the way you see it? Despite feminists calling the exact opposite for several decades before you were even born?
Then, if we jump forward to the 1970s and 1980s, women began to choose the
term ‘actor’ instead of ‘actress’ as a direct result of the women’s movement
and an awareness of gender bias in language. Women began to take back the
term ‘actor’, and it’s often used today.
Zoë Wannamaker explains that in the 1970s and 1980s there was ‘a stigma’ – a
feeling that people disapproved – of being called an actress. This was because
the word actress seemed to have the ‘connotation’, or suggested meaning, of
being a prostitute
So just so you know, you’re insisting on implying all women actors to be whores. Sexist as fuck
You need to do better, no matter how archaic your inner world is or whatever conservative bumfucknowhere you live in.
Also gendered language btw
So you’re saying you don’t believe women can be heroes?
That’s super sexist.
