Yes, if this trend were to continue - and I actually don't think it will, I think we'll see a relative balance among all of the various gender identities - but if we were to suddenly see years upon years in which men were not winning acting awards because they were in gender neutral categories, then it would indeed turn out that men were benefitting from not having to compete against women... which, of course, the opposite argument was made as to why women needed their own category, because the assumption was they would lose if they had to compete against men.
But again, it's an interesting thought experiment, I don't think it will play out that way. |
