Great presentation. Great onliner at 5:37 "What we underestimate, we underutilize". Another good oneliner 9:15 "We should learn to discern this differences and leverage them rather than seeking confirmations or validations, stereotypes are getting in the way of accurate assessments of talent"
Remarkably, articulately spoken Tedtalk about egalitarianism and the complicity of gender stereotypes-this Tedtalk is must-watch for our economic and social well being.
This was absolutely incredible. It's true; men and women's traits can be similar, but ultimately there's less differences between gender traits than the groups themselves. Well spoken.
A very interesting talk!! More is needed to create awareness, recognise gender biases and advance in concerted efforts to closing the gender gap in all sphere of our life.
I hate gender biases. This is why feminism needs to end. They are completely biased towards the belief that women are victims, a persecuted class, and man are oppressors, the villains who persecute women.
The text that I read along with this was "If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You the Boss? Explaining the Persistent Vertical Gender Gap in Management" (Haveman, Heather A., Beresford, Lauren, S.).
She had very intelligently first shown that women are mistreated and then said there should be environment for equality in workplace summarizing it as if women are victim.But then why there are more male sucide victims then that of women????(dont say because no of male are more than women because proportion is very high)
@@Gg-ep2uu No Lolly is right. It's simply because of the more effective methods that men tend to use. The female rate would surpass the male rate if the same methods were used.
but what are those MBA's in? medical engineering? or a less demanding and naturally lower paid position? thats one thing these people never talk about. men typically go into higher paid fields...hence why they earn more for their degree
I really don't think this is possible...I strongly agree that we often miss out on talent because of a pre conceived idea of what talent is but I think this pre conceived idea is strongly reinforced by actual evidence and reason. Although some women exhibit the qualities of a leader, and its the loss of any company who wouldn't hire that woman, I understand why people assume it as a male trait. Men have evolved as protectors and leaders and we are still running on that old hardware that tells us this to be true. On top of that that it often is true. Nature doesn't lie.
mediasuciacolorida Alright, I guess my stubborn ass will start the evidence battle....1st piece of evidence:Throughout history men have been the dominant sex.....see every example ranging from the earliest records of man to the year 1900. Men are bigger, stronger and more aggressive (all traits that people respond well to when they are exhibited in a leader).
Oh! your'e just a genius! I guess what you need is not intelectual work to solve problems, just the mere "physical strength"... wait! No, you're just stupid. (And that's not evidence, is your wrong opinion, bring qualified and updated papers, discussions, another TED video or similar). Did you even see the video? It's worthless to discuss it if you don't have anything to discuss this video.
mediasuciacolorida You seem a little upset...If you think that physical strength is the core of my argument as to why men are normally seen as leaders then you have entirely missed my point. Instead of calling you stupid and simply saying you're stubborn or you're wrong, ill just keep throwing evidence at you. A study done by a group of American neuroscientists found that brain scans showed men had more activity in four areas of the brain associated with decision-making, focusing closely on a task and visualizing. Another recent study conducted at Harvard University by five researchers determined that there was a direct link to the level of testosterone found in a persons brain and the success(measured by number of subordinates) of their leadership. Again, because men have naturally evolved as leaders throughout time these helpful traits for leadership can be found more often (but not exclusively) in men. (there are many great peer reviewed papers written by evolutionary psychologists that explain how an why men have evolved in such a way)............................. you can keep calling me stupid if you like but fortunately for you that won't help to advance your argument.
I apologize for call you stupid. But I felt offended with this biological spread arguments, that are old-fashioned that you now present as "evidence". There's a technical yet big problem with your evidence, just adding "a study conducted by" is not enough, you have to say who did it, when the did it, where they did it, year, publication,etc... in order to quote. I don't deny this studies exist, because there's always been misconceptions, in old times they used to think that as the women brains were smaller, they cannot perform tasks in sciences, although it isn't true at all. As in the video she said that there's more variations between women that between women and men, it's kind of nonsense to set stereotypes and define psychological attributes based on anatomy-biological traits.

you cant avoid it boys and girls are very very different you can say there is no steryoptypes both genders are not identical they are very different and they will always be men do not give birth do they?
That's a natural thing gender stereotype is totally different from natural women and men were meant to reproduce that's nature but the rest was created by the society and that can change
Stereotypes are false cultural beliefs about other groups' behavior and physical abilities. The sexes are born with different private parts but behavior differences are mostly learned and culture-based, meaning they vary between countries and historical periods and can be changed by choice. For instance, they can do the same jobs and believe the same opinions, etc.
Let's apply some logic to this. You have a fact which you want to explain: women are unrepresented in leadership positions. Then you propose a theory: people have a weird unconscious prejudice that they don't notice even with all this feminist propaganda, that makes men, as well as curiously women, avoid hiring or promoting other women. Because deep down they believe somehow women can't and this is all fault on a "patriarchy". Which is a discriminating institution that don't use any typical discrimination methods of any other institutions like written rules. I will propose another one: Men and women are intrinsically DIFFERENT! Occam's razor certainly favors mine, and with a bit of common sense and/or research it's easy to notice evidence points to mine as well.
Titus Flavius Vespasianus I don’t think that the issue is whether or not there are difference between the sexes, but whether or not those differences have anything to do with their performance in the same jobs as their male counterparts. There are really quite a lot of variables to consider.
What do you mean? Because if you acknowledge that there are differences then that immediately creates different ability. Men can’t do what women can (feminists would agree) conversely women can’t do what men can (feminists would disagree)
If we were to apply rigorous, controlled study, we would attempt to identify what appears to be cultural, and what appears to be "intrinsic", or biological. The struggle here is that we really don't know much about the brain, and that it would be difficult to trace behaviors and tendencies to chemical sources.

This is the kind of feminism we need. Not potty-mouthed toddlers, but strong, educated people addressing REAL issues.

What gender gap?
Aside from a few over simplifications I really like her speech.
Source of the research?
Does anyone know a website or something discussing the study they did?
The text that I read along with this was "If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You the Boss? Explaining the Persistent Vertical Gender Gap in Management" (Haveman, Heather A., Beresford, Lauren, S.).
Ted Talk needs to fix their microphones to not project all sounds...that background mouth stickiness is distracting on most videos
She had very intelligently first shown that women are mistreated and then said there should be environment for equality in workplace summarizing it as if women are victim.But then why there are more male sucide victims then that of women????(dont say because no of male are more than women because proportion is very high)
because men prefer harder methods with higher success rate
Because men don't show emotions generally,they need to be more open about their emotions.
@@Gg-ep2uu No Lolly is right. It's simply because of the more effective methods that men tend to use. The female rate would surpass the male rate if the same methods were used.
@@treacherousjslither6920 nonsense. The reason women dont use the male methods is because they dont actually want to kill themselves
but what are those MBA's in? medical engineering? or a less demanding and naturally lower paid position? thats one thing these people never talk about. men typically go into higher paid fields...hence why they earn more for their degree
Men, please be respectful.
Bravo!
Can we get to the point where the amount of money a man or woman spends on his or her clothes is NOT a factor in getting a job?
Gender stereotypes? Clothing or hair? Dont matter .
very good guys

@@8BitDarkNESsR3v14 no but you are able to give birth
@@porg7373 Not all women are, though. Does that mean infertile women and most girls under the age of 10 and over the age of 50 aren't 'real women'?

Please change the name of TEDx to FEMx - the bulk of TEDx talks are about this one issue.
You clearly need to watch other videos.
I like women support but men are people to so don't give to much support or power to either.
Let's apply some logic to this.
You have a fact which you want to explain: women are unrepresented in leadership positions.
Then you propose a theory: people have a weird unconscious prejudice that they don't notice even with all this feminist propaganda, that makes men, as well as curiously women, avoid hiring or promoting other women.

Different? Obviously. Lesser (which is what she is exploring)? No.
If we were to apply rigorous, controlled study, we would attempt to identify what appears to be cultural, and what appears to be "intrinsic", or biological.
The struggle here is that we really don't know much about the brain, and that it would be difficult to trace behaviors and tendencies to chemical sources.

Of course.
i feel bad about being a man. Can anyone help?

There's nothing wrong about belonging to a specific gender.
