Is Sam Smith straight? I thought he was a gay man ...

Why is that relevant though?

Goodness me, my post was deleted for telling the truth about a pop star.

And I didn't even refer to him as fat

šŸ˜‚I think I know who you're referring to. Let me guess, he's like a modern day Varys from GOT?

Indeed ...

No, you referred to him as a gay man having a hissy fit.

5 men, 5 women --> sexist, transphobic, biphobic

10 men, 0 women --> teething issues

Majority men, more than 0 women --> diversity at last.

Magic, I believe it's magic.

TempestTost · 25/11/2023 14:40

difference, nor deference, lol.

TempestTost · 25/11/2023 14:38

I don't even really think it's just about a leg up for woman. I don't think it's always easy to compare male and female performances. Of course you can, but sometimes too much deference makes it harder to rank things.

Not that I have much time for awards stuff anyway, these days I always end up thinking, is this really the best we produce?

FarEast · 25/11/2023 14:20

It was indeed totally predictable so I am afraid I have absolutely zero sympathy.

Except I have a LOT of sympathy for all the terrific women musicians. I don't keep up with the day-to-day of pop/rock music, but the lead singer for London Grammar is an amazing vocal artist. And what about Roisin Murphy, whose new album soared up the charts?

One bloke in a snit destroyed all women's representation overnight.

Anyone still clinging to the hope that women's equality is a long ago achieved thing?

It was nice that Styles mentioned the topic. It would have been more useful if he mentioned women and then refused to accept/keep the award until women were given equal treatment again by the Brit Awards.

Show quote history

I hadn't actually thought of that but I agree, he won three others that night anyway.

I did like that Harry Styles dedicated his award to 5 women who could have been nominated.

Did he? Oh, good for him

And with all open categories he STILL didnā€™t get a gong.

Categories themselves allow for diversity. Thatā€™s the actual point of them. So having a female and male category IS diversity.

When are you wims gonna realise that diversity is for penis owners. There's nothing for you here!

I utterly loved Harry Styles for mentioning 5 women in his acceptance speech.

ChateauMargaux · 24/11/2023 21:55

Excuse my bluntness but fuck that.. does Harry Styles really think it's a fair competition ...and he has won? he should have handed it back.

It is so depressing that we are not even an 'also ran'.

It's a man's world.. and when the protections are removed.. the veneer of equality is also removed and the truth is revealed... it was a ruse ... when left to their own devices.. men see no value in women.

This is what it's like living on Planet Stonewall. Useful idiots everywhere.

UtopiaPlanitia · 24/11/2023 14:44

Isnā€™t it awful that after decades of categories created for women to allow them equal access to recognition and awards, when those categories are removed things just revert to celebrating men. Hasnā€™t there been any change in how society views female artists? After years of ā€˜celebrating female empowerment' in the music business we find out that it was all a marketing gimmick and no-one really believed in it.

ArthurbellaScott · 24/11/2023 13:44

Loving our new diverse and inclusive landscape in the arts. So women. Much equal.

SaturdayGiraffe · 24/11/2023 13:24

Surely itā€™s all rigged anyway.
