[quote]Calling an actress an ACTOR
I remember a couple of years ago, I and my coworker at the time were discussing a movie, and I said the person starring was a 'great actress'. My coworker, a militant lesbian in her 60s, shot me a look and said, 'The correct word is actor. We don't say 'actress' any more. That's a sexist remark.' in front of a few others.
I turned back to her, and I said, 'When liberal Hollywood and liberal Broadway stop categorizing women into 'Best Actress', 'Lead Actress', and 'Best Supporting Actress' at their annual Awards show, I will stop referring to women as actresses. Until then, I won't. Those women gladly accept their awards and being called an actress, and don't see it as sexist.'
That shut her up.

I have to say, she was a smart woman and I enjoyed her company in small doses. But she thought she was appointed in the department to 'teach everyone' and bring them up to speed to what is correct and incorrect to say in the 2020s, especially when it came to women and LGBTQ+. Most people kind of backed away from her, not wanting to engage when they were 'corrected' (as far as I'm concerned, most times no correction was necessary). I knew my day was coming - it just so happened to be THAT conversation on that day, and I was ready. She wasn't expecting a rebuttal.
