Actor or actress

I'm not sure what was wrong with having both names then I know if they are talking about a male or female. I guess another thing I am old school about, I still use actor and actress.

I think it's better we call them actor and actress

I think, it was always actor and actress when i started reading books already. But anyway, i find it nice this way because you can easily distinguish the gender when they say actress or actor.

I was married to an actress for 20 years. She considered herself an actor. An actor is one who acts. The term is delineated into 'actor' and 'actress' for the sake of awarding prizes and designating the gender of a specific role in a play or movie. She was very adamant about the term actor applying to all who act regardless of their gender. Being married to her for 20 years I became inculcated to her terminology. Writers are known as either writers or authors, not writeresses or authoresses. This need to separate women with different terminology is an archaic remnant of patriarchal thinking. It's time to move beyond that. Just my opinion. I really don't care that much, knowing how hard it is for people to change.

I prefer actor and actress. Some people are carrying this sexist nonsense too far.

No one is ever happy lol

I am sorry but I have no idea my friend.

the name actress would tell audience members easily that the show, film, play, etc has roles for women

Well the only thing that I see is that it should be actress for female. That is according to grammar not about any sexist matter.

I like actor and actress. Are just actoresses. (no such word)

I see no reason why they should be referred as "actors" there is a word to correctly define them, they are actress.

actor for male and actress for female

It doesn't worry me but it worries me if I use the wrong term around someone who is worried about such trifles.

They've the reason

I have no problems with using both names.

If we look into Grammar, there is no gender for profession and acting is one of them . We do not have teacher-teacheress, doctor-doctoress etc. So people feel that actress is not grammatically correct one.

No problem.

I think it's better we call them actor and actress
