    Where did they find this speaker, the 50s?

    This hasn’t been true for SEVERAL generations

    • ᘻᘿᖶᗩ ᐺ

      March 8, 2023 at 12:23 pm

      Exactly!

    • BeefAndPumpkinSoup

      Wait, which country?

    • LionUniverse14

      Eh not at all, it’s only been a few generations that women have the right to vote or go to university, in some countries women still don’t have that…what are you talking about?

      This speaker is simplifying things in this short (havent seen the full talk so idk what else she mentions) but it is true. It’s one of the reasons why why girls over perform in school and university but don’t get promoted as often as men. There are a lot of other reasons, ofc, but this is one of them.

    This is bs, teach your girl to be a girl and wife and to take care of her family

      How your so smart wow the smartest comment ever

    • Anaiss J

      What if she is infertile or if she wants to have a successful career instead. Are women not allowed to have careers and study according to you? Where you born in the 1800s?

    • SLYKM

      March 8, 2023 at 1:14 pm

      Interesting comment. If a woman is going to school and applying for a job that doesn’t mean she can’t take care of a family, if she wants one.
      Ain’t no way I’m raising any child to be dependent on a partner when they can learn to care for themselves.

    No waaay most women only apply to jobs when they meet 100 percent qualifications.

    • SLYKM

      March 8, 2023 at 1:06 pm

      Why’s that?

  7. Dru LLoring

    Boys aren’t taught to play rough or be brave lol

    Teach girls to stop with their tendency of being 304s Kiki copycats 🥱🥱🥱

    What….???? This speech is not based on true facts.

  10. Mojo

    March 8, 2023 at 12:34 pm

    The problem is we’re no longer raising boys to be brave. Show me a brave millennial or gen z. They’re very few and far between. We’re feminizing boys and telling women they don’t need men and not to have children. This woman is adding to the destruction of western civilization. She’s a hack and so is TED.

    does she this it’s still the 1980s?

    • SLYKM

      March 8, 2023 at 1:11 pm

      Do you not notice how there is still people today who argue that career women need to still prioritize the home and children even if both parents work? Not even single fathers are expected to be good parents, they get extra praise for being a good dad bc they aren’t expected to be. And this also contributes to why it’s harder for men to get custody. Patriarchy is a cycle that is still reinforced today.

    Funny how all the negative comments are men…almost like it’s proving her point.

    • El Negro Tigre

      March 8, 2023 at 2:05 pm

      Honestly seen a lot more negative comments from women

    • Joshua W

      March 8, 2023 at 7:13 pm

      Funny how all the positive comments are from foreigners…almost like it’s proving you’re all NPCs who will believe anything.

    March 8, 2023 at 12:59 pm

    In that case… shouldn’t we fix man ?

    • SLYKM

      March 8, 2023 at 1:11 pm

      Why?

    • Elijah Meinhard

      March 8, 2023 at 2:11 pm

      No men are the one succeeding more so why would you want to see men succeed less rather than woman succeed more?

    • Saumya Gupta

      March 8, 2023 at 3:27 pm

      @Elijah Meinhard why is career success the underlying thing that we strive for anyways?

  15. Marti

    March 8, 2023 at 1:17 pm

    I’m a woman, I’m a programmer and yes I will not apply for the job unless I meet 100% of the qualifications even though I know they’re not needed (yeah I’m a fricking perfectionist)

  16. c h

    March 8, 2023 at 1:59 pm

    I’m a woman, she doesn’t seem qualified to be talking. 100% is an impossible statistic. Talk about confusing information, teach women to be brave and not perfect by claiming women are always perfect.

    • Sebastian Antonelli

      March 8, 2023 at 2:09 pm

      I wouldn’t say always perfection is boring strove to be yourself and accept the things you are self conscious about

    • c h

      March 8, 2023 at 2:16 pm

      @Sebastian Antonelli it’s just an obvious push on gender bias to cause division. The only way to find perfection is to accept no one is completely perfect. Simple paradoxes of life.

    My God these feminists are making everything us against them! Go compete in getting farmers and plumbers jobs too!

  21. Saumya Gupta

    March 8, 2023 at 3:27 pm

    Why dont we teach the boys to be perfectionist?

    • G420 ☝︎

      March 8, 2023 at 7:51 pm

      Uhm no. Raise both to be different from that.

    • johnny_blz

      March 10, 2023 at 6:13 am

      Yeah…i have that and can tell you is the key to failure in life. It can turn the simplest things into suffering AND affect everyone around you.

    Great, another successful woman complaining…

  23. Joshua W

    what a stupid video, men are not taught to be brave anymore than women are she’s making this up

  24. Cool Sunday

    March 8, 2023 at 7:19 pm

    Lack of bravery is why girsl don’t do STEM! really?

    • Tan

      March 10, 2023 at 2:32 pm

      I think it’s because there’s not as much of a social aspect

  25. James Michaels

    So stop doing it then lady on the stage!

    probs so

  28. H4rT

    March 9, 2023 at 1:52 am

    this why u never see girls saying “be my boyfriend”

    • hello bro

      March 9, 2023 at 4:51 am

      my girlfriend did

    • H4rT

      March 9, 2023 at 4:58 am

      @hello bro well, that’s rare case

    • hello bro

      March 9, 2023 at 5:13 am

      @H4rT my friend’s girlfriend too

  29. hello bro

    March 9, 2023 at 4:49 am

    her eyes literally say “GIRLS MUST BE BETTER THAN BOYS”

    • Tan

      March 10, 2023 at 2:31 pm

      Just as brave*

    • hello bro

      March 11, 2023 at 1:54 am

      @Tan nah, it’s clear she hates men. radical feminism

  30. hello bro

    March 9, 2023 at 4:50 am

    if some girls cannot get a job in STEM, it’s not because they’re not brave, it’s because they’re not smart enough.

  31. hello bro

    March 9, 2023 at 4:53 am

    women cannot be happy without children & husband. same thing goes for men. Everyone needs family to be happy, because nobody will care about your career after you’re 50.

  32. The6thElement

    Years ago, I applied for a job with 80% of the qualifications. I didn’t have my full degree as yet, but had over 20 years experience in office support/management. The chauvinistic attorney interviewer scolded me for even applying. I can’t repeat what I said to him; then reported him to the DOL.

    Don’t worry, the future is safe; my girls certainly aren’t perfect.

    60%? . Yup I fit that . I can’t lie on my resume at all. Part of why I’ve been unemployed for years

  35. PLF

    March 9, 2023 at 6:15 pm

    Women are not perfect, in fact most are incredibly average. And until they learn to see themselves as such, they are never going to fit in.

    Are you sure ” boys are taught to..” and ” girls are taught to..” ?
    And if it was something essential that speaks about the differences between woman and man?

  39. Vlad Vlog

    March 10, 2023 at 11:42 am

    How about teaching girls how to take responsibility. That would be a start.

  40. Wand

    Its about handling rejection

    Teach girls to swallow and smile if you want success and fulfillment
