I dont like em, but the commenter is right. Hall of "fame" requires "fame". Something nickleback definately has. This isnt onion material.

Its a thing from gendered languages. (probably)
Example: In german, the whole personal pronoun thing is a bit difficult to bring into the language, because every noun has a gendered pronoun. "Die sonne", the sun is female. "Der mond", the moon is male.
Although there is a push to add "*innen" to professions, making it clear that it is non gender specific, it isnt catching on because the language has prescriptive genders for nouns anyway. Its a confusing system wothout rules and each noun has it's own gender. Just gotta learn which is which. No guide to it, so adding a guide makes it messy...
In the example of actor, it would be "schauspieler" or "schauspieler*innen". In writing this is functional, but in direct usage of the language it is absurd.
I can only assume that she says this because of something similar OR because she wishes to be equated with the male term, rather than having a special title for her gender. Makes sense either way, its her call. 😅

If you are refering to any holy book, you will lose that arguement. They all support abuse.
