I LOVE that Sophia Wallace said, "I want to make a sculpture that lasts thousands of years. I want to work with metal and stone so that we don't have to have this conversation again and again." Point blank. Period. I am so thankful that she took on this project. Seeing this is very healing.
I'm not just a socket. I have a switch. And I deserve to be turned on. Sophia Wallace, God bless your soul. TEDx Talks, you're Heaven-sent. Thank you for creating a platform for such groundbreaking discussions.
Excellent and tastefully done presentation Sophia Wallace. At 85 years old I still get excited when people live for their dreams. It is so rewarding to live and work for what we believe in. You are courageous and creative. Please continue your quest. You will help the world become a better more human place.
A courageous undertaking: struggling against 10,000 years of shame, guilt, and paternalism. I found myself wondering why she is taking it to such lengths, and then I realized that the pendulum has swung so far into the darkness that it will take herculean efforts to return it toward the light.
@@mikem6176 About what? She made four comments and several points. You don't address any of them, and so your retort just hangs there in mid-air, going nowhere.
You are an amazing woman! Thank you for educating us all about this most important aspect of a woman’s body. This is truly female liberation and empowerment! I salute your noble work.
Bravo... thank you for your commitment to language. Your sense of humor, and putting an end to shame, for all girls, and woman. Parts, whole and complete...
What an brilliant idea, cliteracy is. I never knew my own body and am glad there are amazing people out there who really beieve in what they are doing.
This was amazing. Thank you SO MUCH to Sophia Wallace for having the guts, the insight, and the skill to execute this huge, important, and inspiring project. We need to change how we talk about female sexuality; we need to re-evaluate the way we've systematically hidden from it; and we need to take huge steps towards re-educating the public about the vulva, the clitoris, and the way the female body is more than just a baby factory and a "sword-holder."
joelface I agree. But her models are not anatomically correct. She’s now saying I don’t “get” that her art is “conceptual” and “stylized.” Personally I think knowing real anatomy is most important. I didn’t realize we needed sculptures for that bc I learned it in 2007. 👀
@ the world isn't that well educated about genitals in general but they know and present the male one more. Boys at school are emboldend enough to draw penises all over the place. The understanding of the reproductive system and menstruation of women among men is quite bad because boys are often put in a different class when it comes to learn about this. Some don't even know that women pee from a different places then they menstruate from. I doubt that men know more accurate facts about female anatomy then vice versa.
Truly moving TED Talk and touching she was crying at the end of it. You can really see her passion for the subject, and one that needs more talking about. Sex Education needs to come a long way more in this country.
Thank you Sophia Wallace for your eye-opening presentation. Your endeavors will continue to make a difference and help the future generations to have deeper respect, understanding, and joy! THANK YOU INDEED.
Thank you Sophia, you are beautiful and I believe that you have found your Magnum Opus. I’m impressed and pleased to see your work in the public square. We need to get people appreciating the whole and wholesome design of the human reproductive systems. So glad seeing someone redressing the balance of knowledge. You really don’t know what the World really needs until you see or experience it. I’m praying people everywhere will get the message ....
She was so right that mothers should talk to their sons about it. I learned that when two of my sons were having some marital problems and I explained it to them. This was the one subject my husband wouldn't talk to them about, even though he understood it very well.
It’s about time this topic is addressed. Good for you for working to teach the world on this most important topic. It’s about time this knowledge reaches all humans.
If you just sit on your derriere and wait for it to come to you, then you deserve to experience the orgasm gap. If you want something, go after it, learn all you can about it, then you won't have cause to complain because you will obtain what you sought. Lazy complainers get nothing they don't deserve.
Wow Sophia, Excellent work. I came here for a class I’m taking and I’m watching at 4 am. I literally stood up in my bedroom and started clapping at the end.
If you ever come to Vancouver Canada with your exhibit, I would be there to experience it along with my whole family. I think you would be well received in this town.
Thank you for educating us. I'd love to have a necklace or a small sculpture, and I will send this to friends. You have done a wonderful service to humanity!
Her talk was in 2015.... This is 2019.... We are in a digression.... 😟 Two steps forward.... One step back.... Too too sad.... But please please do not quit climbing.... Continue to climb.... FOREVER!!! And ever and ever more ! 🥵 😔 🤗

Thank you for your talk, your art & the conversation stirred. Awareness is bliss. There is beauty in women & men that needs to be explored & enjoyed daily with all of our senses.

Watching this again, I am struck by how fantastic the speaker is, how great the info is, & how WONDERFUL the whole subject truly is!
Of course, our Goddess Sophia is the most appropriate to deliver and initiate this conversation! This was an amazing TED Talk!
She's 100% right. We have some positive changes to make in our culture.
We know more about the moon we do the cliteriois. This whom have them I am glad they do I’ll support them best I can 💚💚
Education is key!!!

there is no willingness among women to learn how to give a man pleasure
joelface , So many men especially that have very little knowledge about how the whole works.

I am so grateful to find this. This is an AMAZING project.
Well done Sophia. It's way pass time that we had this discussion..
Thank you Tedx for all the great talks you put on but this is by far one of my favorites ❤ this girl is a genius

She sounds insane.
I’m still out on the sculptor, has to be right place and time.
