As long as.... (Score:2) by The Gonzo Kid (NibcpeteO@SyahPoo.AcomM) on Wednesday June 04, @04:01PM EST (#1) (User #661 Info) So long as we have Men's and women's awards, and then a second class for "Women only" awards, those awards will continue to be seen as second class awards, and the winners as "Not bad ... for a girl." But if women want to continue to play in the minor leagues and pretend they're in the majors, it's their delusion. ---- Burn, Baby, Burn ----

Having equal parity with men means being able to match men on their own turf. Margaret Mitchell did it. Harper Lee did it. Hell, Jackie Collins did it! Having a separate, women-only award is a cop-out.

Women want it both ways. One way when it suits them. Then the other way when it suits them. Women don't want equality. They just want it all. Dittohd
