Anyone else notice this while filling out the People’s Choice Awards nominees form?

First you get the “Favorite Action Movie Star” category which is all dudes … then you get “Favorite Face Of Heroism Presented By Puffs” category which is all ladies who also starred in action movies. Why does the ladies category have to emphasize the candidates’ faces and be sponsored by a tissue brand? 

Oh right.

Shut it down.

More likely Puffs paid a ton of money thinking that this would help reach their target demographic, and no men’s product thought to do that for the action movie category. Still probably reinforcing stupid gender stereotypes, but probably not as intentional as implied here.

My solution: Use the write in box. Take your top pick from the top category and write it in the bottom one and visa versa.
