@siege i think the idea is that "-ess" is seen as a modifier on other words, and so specifying "actress" is like saying "actorwoman" but "actor" isn't like saying "actorman"

@sunsetmoth except the -ess in seamstress is not a modifier, there isnt a seamster. its just a female coded word.


@sunsetmoth and yes, "Award for Best Actor" does mean actorman.
