Comedian vs comedienne
[edit]Hi - from the Oxford English Dictionary: "comedian ▸ noun: an entertainer on stage or television whose act is designed to make an audience laugh". No mention of it having to be a man. Just for your info - thanks. MFlet1 (talk) 11:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
PS. From Wikipedia:Writing about women: "Avoid labelling a woman as a female author or female politician, unless her gender is explicitly relevant to the article. In April 2013 several media stories noted that editors on the English Wikipedia had begun moving women from Category:American novelists to Category:American women novelists, while leaving men in the main category."[1][2] Linguists call this markedness. Treating a man who is a writer as a "writer" and a woman as a "woman writer" presents women as "marked", or the Other, requiring an adjective to differentiate them from the male default."[3] Although in this instance a different noun is being used rather than a qualifying adjective, the principle is the same.
