    This might be a bit pedantic, but if they’re asking about “actors” that usually implies they’re asking about males. So if you’re seeing only male actors in response that’s probably not so much sexism and just people just responding accurately to the question being posed.

    If they phrased the question as “Who are the best actors/actresses of all time” and people still only came up with male actors then okay yeah.

      I did not mean to make it seem like I was quoting a specific question word for word, it was more about the general concept, however it is worded. It might be worded as you put it or not be about actors. Or like my example be more generally about movie scenes. Or…

      Unlike my native language, English is usually ungendered and I sometimes forget that there are some few exceptions to that rule.
