Could we PLEASE stop referring to Meryl Streep as an "actress?" [View all]
The perpetuation of "feminine" endings on nouns that should apply equally to everyone perpetuates the qualification of women's inclusion in such nouns.
"It's not how gracefully the bear dances, but that it dances at all."
Like Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sean Penn, Edward G. Robinson, Greta Garbo, and thousands more, Meryl Streep is an actor.
A great one.
wearily,
Bright
