Sunday night’s Grammy Awards was marked with considerable drama, low ratings, and political grandstanding. Sounds like everything liberals could ask for in 2018, right?
Wrong. Nothing is perfect for them nowadays. Just ask deranged male feminists like Perez Hilton, who informed his followers that an inadequate number of women won Grammys last night, thereby meriting a stage 5 internet meltdown.
“Congratulations to all the men who won #Grammys during tonight’s telecast,” Hilton tweeted during the show. “Oh, and they also gave 1 woman an award during the broadcast show too!!!!!!”

It’s important to note that although one female won a Grammy on live television, plenty more won offscreen. Eleven women won awards in total, but that doesn’t fit the sexist narrative the ever-offended internet trolls are trying to push.
So we have a performance from Sting — doing a 31 year old song. And yet Lorde did not get a solo slot to perform. So many iconic women in music right now, but we get … this?? I have zero problem with Sting existing, but I really do not understand the priorities of the #grammys

I wish the #Grammys would return to female/male categories. Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock when most every category is filled with men? I’m not sure it is about women needing to “step up”, (as said by the male in charge). #GrammysSoMale https://t.co/v1rvbT3pCC

I’m 51. And Sting is a fine artist. He wasn’t nominated for anything. He got 10 minutes of screen time. Lorde, the only female Album of the Year nominee, got exactly zero stage time. #GrammysSoMale https://t.co/qIUByGcRe6

Singer Janelle Monae suggested that “Time’s Up” means men are no longer allowed to win awards.
A total of 90.7% of nominees between 2013 and 2018 were male, meaning just 9.3% were women. #TimesUp #Grammys

Others inserted race into the equation. Because it’s not a full-blown 2018 tantrum unless somebody’s crying about racism.
Imagine the percentage of black women. Smh. https://t.co/A2FvHgYgYj

#Grammys don’t care about the Black female narrative, so like… I’m gonna go listen to SZA and do my work. Because, that’s what we do as Black women. Keep. It. Moving. Forward.

Some leftists even resorted to cannibalizing the very award shows that are intended to keep them happy and soothe their egos. Actress Wendi McLendon-Covey criticized the Grammys for being shallow and closed-minded.
Another reason why awards mean nothing and actual receipts and fans mean everything. #GrammysSoMale

Last night’s exhibition exposes just how meaningless awards shows like the Grammys really are. They’re not about talent. They’re not even about entertainment anymore. According to the mainstream liberal narrative, the only function of awards ceremonies is to meet racial, gender and sexuality quotas. Nothing more and nothing less.
