That's not the argument though.
Their argument is that minority demographics do not get recognised in proportion to their success. The exact opposite of an award based on merit. If Little Women is considered one of the best films of the year, one of the best written films of the year and with some of the best performances of year then even if it were directed by a man people would be commenting on the Director not getting a nod.
