Gender Politics and the Tony Awards

Just ran across this post questioning the gender divide of the acting categories of the Tony Awards in a year when two nominees were named as such for roles opposite their gender.

Of course these are the awards named for Antoinette Perry which nevertheless use the masculine "Tony" as the universally recognized name for the awards as opposed to "Toni," presumably the nickname that Ms. Perry would have used.
