In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Absolutely stunning statistics, presented in a way that I can't ignore. As a man, this is a call to me to act, until the statistics are no longer like this.
Was there to see this in person at TEDxCGW, and honestly couldn't describe to you just how electric the atmosphere was when Laura spoke. Truly inspired.
You're so so so so incredible Laura. The importance of this conversation cannot be overstated.
Amazing and heartbreaking at the same time....
Laura Bates is such an inspiration, I'm so proud someone has finally taken a stand.
awesome speech, made me realize the struggle women face everyday, hopefully this project will reach it's goal
Fantastic talk. Ties together the apathy towards "everyday sexism" in the street or bus to the workplace with the bigger picture of systemic degradation of women. Pointing out the nuances of peoples' reaction to "making a fuss" about harrassment and how that triggers guilt, shame and keeps people from reporting or speaking out about it. The implied 2nd class status of women in our society is harmful to everyone. Time for a cultural shift.
Wonderful talk. Thank you. Your air of optimism is so inspiring.
Fantastic speech! I love this project and hope it inspires change around the world.
Laura Bates is SO impressive.
Be the change you want to see... :)
Seriously Laura, you're absolutely amazing.
Fantastic work Laura! Inspiration!
Brilliant. This is so important and necessary. I hope everyone can take this on board.
Should have had more men in the audience to hear this!
thanks for sharing this, although many many males wouldn't dream of 'trying on' the stuff exposed here, really all men should hear it!
Well done Laura
So good, thanks Laura!
thank you, Laura
Well done, Laura!!! It's a real pity that, in 2014, such a project has to exist, but it clearly does. My only advice - if you think patriarchy/casual sexism is bad in the UK, for goddess' sake, never visit Australia...
Wonder, does she support the ending of archaic alimony laws, the ending of 'positive' discrimination/affirmative action, giving men rights to paternity/DNA testing, more mens shelters?
