First of all, everyone deserves criticism, literally everyone. Saying someone doesn’t deserve criticism, is to say that person is pretty much perfect, which is impossible.
Sure. That's the Christian way to think. I agree with that.
But you know fully well I meant it in the context of this situation.
People have legitimate reasons to criticise her, because going by objective standards/“her body of work” especially when compared to others, pales in comparison. So yes, there’s a reason to question the award and the only plausible conclusion is that politics might be at play. However, even if their criticism is wrong, then provide evidence and arguments showing why it’s wrong, rather than being lazy and just calling everyone sexists. It’s so silly. Critique the food not the chef.
No, your knowledge about her is pretty much based on what Wikipedia says about her. You have zero knowledge of how she does her work and what she actually does in the companies she works in.
And I'm not calling you sexist. I'm not calling you a misogynist. I'm against that kind of "you're a [insert some -ism here] so you are a bad person and your opinions don't count" thinking.
People can say you base your views incorrectly on gender in this instance without having to think you are sexist by default then.
There are people who look at people who work in the industry and give them awards. They have insight about it that is probably far better than what you have. Your main criticism is that this is about political correctness because she is a woman. And you ask others to give proof of why she should be there instead of you giving any better evidence why she shouldn't.
