Like gods vs gods and goddesses, goddesses are already gods
I’ve heard arguments for the opposite: women who act should be called actors, not actresses, the logic being that the -ess suffix is diminutive, so all actors should just be actors. It seems like there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for either side.

I don’t need luxury, I want gay space communism!
Also the gay is implied anyway - look at the top of the star (in that fantastic logo) how it’s not aligned straight.

That’s called invisibilization of women. The French language, which is my mother tongue, does that a lot, and we’re fighting against that.

The distinction, or ignoring the distinction?
The invisibilization.
Some lieutenant in a skant is going to be very upset.
