It helps.

IN what way? Surely it would be be better for women to push for more fairness in the traditional awards area rather than a push with the "We have an award too." method. I really think it counterproductive.

Gaimen said "We are in a period of change." Well, we've been in a period of change all my 82 years (only I don't remember the first couple). He's too young to understand that.

The change for women has been dramatic during my lifetime, but I don't intend to debate all that.
