She said "women who didn't fit stereotypical gender roles were labeled as witches and burned." I thought women who did witchcraft were witches, and men who did witchcraft were warlocks, and they were both burned at the stake. It had nothing to do with gender roles, but more to do with religion.
I´d say that religion was jsut a tool and excuse. If they did not understand or were scared of someoone/something, the easiest way to get rid of it is to kill it -> in this way on display so others get scared.
I think both of you are right here. While both men and woman were burned for witchcraft, it's possible the large massacres of "Witches" was primarily woman due to implicit bias
@@harpercallahan7236 It could be possible hypothetically, but this isn't true historically. Since men lead the world, if they were to do witchcraft they would be burned because their influence could be "toxic". Women would either be cast away into the wilderness, burned, or reinstated back into the church once they turned from their practices. The bias helped women in this case because they were protected and served by men, and they also weren't seen as a threat to the city as much as men were. This is why mythic stories talk more about witches, they were just around more.
Have you seen these comments in videos saying "this is the most positive comment section I've seen", well I'm here to make the opposite here ; *this has to be one of the most negative, sexist LGBTQ+phobic and generally awful comment section I've seen* That's your warning people get out of here, abort abort!!! Such a shame because the talk made some great points and the presenter despite her nervousness(which really establishes the societal pressure that leads to that anxiety she's talking about) , carried it through beautifully.
I'm a 25 girl, unmarried, and was very happy about this until I realized the down side. It's like living far from your family - yes, you feel independent, unrestricted, and able to live for yourself. But with age, you realize that living for yourself is entertaining, but not fulfilling. You don't need to rush into marriage, and when you're married don't rush out of the marriage. But the journey of life spent with another gives you something precious that can't be bought. That companionship, even if it ends badly, is better than ending alone. When I was younger, I looked at all the divorce out there and misery and hatred between exes, and I thought “I'm not going to make some one miserable, I'm not going to spend my life with someone I hate” …well, that's like saying “I'm not going to drive a car because of all the accidents.” Thats not the answer - the answer should be to wear seatbelts, take precautions. My resolution SHOULD have been “I'm going to love my spouse, for whoever he is, and I'm going to give him my best.” Instead, I chose to live for me, and that's who I got …just me. Find someone to love, and give them your best. Like an ocean voyage, it may not last forever but at least you gave it your best shot. And there may be many perils and storms, but atleast you survived them with someone. The relationships that I've had were very special to me and I wish I had gotten married. Instead, I married my “independence”. The people that get divorced and hate each other, they didn't know how to love, they were selfish - it wasn't “marriage” that created the misery, it was their unwillingness to love each other. Love is willing to accommodate (not a reluctant willingness, but an eager willingness), even when you don't really want to. Even when there's no gain from it. Even when the other person is annoying, or stinky, or exhausting. And when you can love your spouse like that, chances are your spouse will, too. And yes, it's POSSIBLE that you might love a person who doesn't, or can't, love their spouse …and that is sad. It really is. But I'd rather go to the Olympics and fail, than never go at all. Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful and is not conceited. Love is not rude or self-seeking. I'm waiting for the right one. If you agree with what I said, then contact my whatsapp: +447901380061 I travel around the world, and my love won't be limited by district. Never Ever Part As Lovers.
This is such an inconsiderate (and exhaustingly long) comment to be honest to the people that don't seek marriage as their life goal (yes we do exist! And sadly I can't help but assume you didn't listen to anything the video had to say... ), love doesn't only have one form, companionship either. Someone may be single their whole life and still feel connected and loved (there are people who are asexual or/and aromantic! ) as they have other relationships in their lives (friendships, parents, siblings and everything else - the possibilities are endless really). I understand and have seen that our background and society one is brought in affect our views and if what you truly need to be fulfilled is marriage, I wish you luck in your pursuit but I dare challenge you and everyone to question whether their goals are affected by the expectations the society they live in put in them and they've internalized instead of what would make them truly happy and fulfilled. P. S. I know I may be replying to a scam comment but I just had to write this to anyone who will read it.
I respect anyone for getting the courage to go up there speaking in front a lot of people, however I disagree with a lot of her opinions or rather what she said. A lot of things are due to choice and not necessarily by gender norms (although some that she mentioned are quite true which I acknowledge such as men should be tough and show no emotions). What do you guys think? Feel free to disagree as we're all different.
It's this kind of mindset that made women incapable of being ideal wives nowadays. Gender roles help men and women have complementary skills and personalities that make them reliable for one another. When a woman and man have too many overlapping traits, they don't bring as much value to each other.
Women now are not very good at cooking these days or keeping the house tidy. When you go to non-Westernized nations you will see the women do all this really well. Their value is diminished when they transfer these responsibilities for the sake of "equality."
Okay, I think I see what you’re saying. I do think in the context of a marriage, that shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. If it is causing a strain in the relationship, then there should be a compromise. Either the wife or husband (or both) could learn how to cook in exchange for the other person to sharpen their skills in a different activity if they really want to continue to make the relationship work. The main point I’d like to make is why not let people grow up and be however they want to be, find a significant other (if they want to) that they find compatible (if the hypothetical guy in your example thinks his S.O. not knowing how to cook is a huge flaw, hopefully he would’ve considered that before marrying her), then make agreeable adjustments from there?
@@BRBallin1 Their value as men's house chefs and baby-making machines are diminished, yes. Not all women pursue those stuffs, though, and not even all feminine women are great at these (think about the women who only love to shop and go to the salon all day, they're pretty feminine). However, you'd still be able to easily find women with passion in such areas these days, assuming it's not your own value that has been diminished. Good luck... :D
I think when you make it ambiguous as to who has to do what, you make things complicated. When both genders know exactly what to expect out of each other, our complimentary skills become second nature to us and we don't have constantly inquire about who's doing what on a given day.
Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 - 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is sometimes regarded as the first to recognise the full potential of a "computing machine" and the first computer programmer.
everyone give her a break she was just a 9th grader.
You can't neglect that it's a bad tedtalk, just because she's a 9th grader.
ok

I´m so glad I found this TED talk, I am writing my MA-thesis on gender roles in Disney movies, so this will be really helpfull.
Well, she flawlessly covered the topic. Thank you for this insightful talk!
It's like you can't be too feminine but you can't be too manly either- this is depressing.
Im here to write about gender roles shown in The Great Gatsby, thanks this really helped alot!
I'm really not a fan of gender roles in general.
That was what i always wanted to hear, see us women as people, see man also as people.
We were always people what are you talking about
Tf is this comment
the amount of information you have given is just awesome. Loved it !
An amazing talk indeed. You did a really great job. 💯
Thank you. You need more views!
