Whether you love Taylor Swift, Hamilton, or anything in between, this one is for you. 🧡 #TEDTalks

Perhaps you grimace or roll your eyes at the thought. In this fun, lively talk, playwright Yve Blake asks us to reevaluate our reaction to the misunderstood passion and power…

Well let me introduce myself: When I was 13 my parents got a brand new stainless steel fridge…a pristine fridge.
For some reason I wanted to prove to my younger brother that I had an abnormally hard head and that headbutting isn’t painful for me…I demonstrated by headbutting the brand new fridge…
There’s been a dent in the fridge for 15 years since…😂😂😂

Not only punching a fridge is an agression or fault behaviour. There is a lot of differences between sexes how they are acting badly.

She ironically also contradicts her own statement within a minute lol. Social sayings exist to “correct” behavior to whatever structural norm is in place. Calling someone “crazy” is a way to perhaps prevent that bad behavior.

@@kangarookohaiit absolutely is a reach. Sure the two phenomenon are similar but i think engaging in the idolization of a stranger to the point of religous ecstasy is much more worthy of being made fun of than the cathardic activity of watching sports, which both men and women engage in btw… both have there extremes, but base line idolizing of a stranger is still bad, just watching sports and wanting your team to win isnt. Ones a much needed release of emotion, the other is a practice is fantasy and insanity 😂 in what way does a young girl benefit from fan girling over justin beiber?

While I do agree, I don’t think a Justin Bieber concert was a great example. He was 15 and being blatantly sexualized and made into a object of romantic attraction by the songs he was being asked to sing. I don’t think girls crying from joy at the sight of child exploitation is the image she actually wanted to evoke.
Also, it is worth noting that crying about sports is absolutely not a universally accepted thing for boys.
Again, there is a double standard, but there is also nuance. One cannot be adequately addressed without the other.

You need evidence of a double standard which she has none. Her “double standard” is really just a biased opinion formed from her specific life experience.

Honestly, I do not think those “fanatics” at soccer games are the most rational either. They are often the ones engaging in racist, misogynistic and straight down offensive chants under the guise of “fanatism”. I wouldn’t those make the important decisions in our society.
And yeah, I think the “fanatics” at any boyband concert are the same. Though honestly, at least they often have their age as an excuse.
There is nothing wrong with being a fan or supporting a team/artist. It’s the crazy “fanatism” where ratio gets pushed aside by emotion that I am no fan off.
