Wow this is amazing... I hope I grew up in this country 😕 when I was in school teachers said habitually "Don't be a doctor, don't be a pilot, Be the WIFE of doctor or pilot"...
Let's be honest though firefighter and fighter pilot are typically male careers. As of 31 December 2014 there were 1790 pilots in the RAF of these 60 were women. I don't think it's unfair for none of the children to have assumed the pilot would be female. And as of the most recent data (2007) women only made up 3.1% of firefighters. Next time ask them to draw a waste collector, sewage worker, or assembly line worker. I'm sure you'd get pretty similar results.
+Ihasrebel We are treated equally. Women can become fighter pilots, firefighters or Surgeons just as easily as men can. They CHOOSE not to, just as they choose not to become waste collectors, sewage workers, or assembly line workers (I'm talking generally obviously there are some women working in these fields but they are in the minority). Anyway how is it offensive? I simply cited statistics to show that when drawing firefighters or fighter pilots the children weren't wrong since almost all people in these fields are men.
+Paul Gill No, he is fine with challenging status quo, but not by means proposed by feminists, i.e. by lowering standarts for women, like we have seen many times. Women cannot meet standarts to become firefighter, pilot or police officer? No worries darling, we will then set bar lower for you, but not for men. Don't you see it is double standart that actually going to get people killed?
+Kibernautas actually women have to work harder to be in these kind of jobs men have to work just as hard and there is the same chance a man or women can land the job so don't start saying that male is superior to female so let's end this fude and settle with a 50 50 OK!
do a poor test that shows nothing, cant be used for anything serious, cry how discriminated girls are while RAF is accepting substandard employee just to meet a quota. the double standard is so great here that they want to objectify and discriminate to stop an non existing discrimination. how about best person gets the job based only on skill and not what body the skill is contained in.
looking at this I feel lucky, that I kind of wore blinders when I thought about getting into engineering. A few people warned me about it being a male dominated field and if I was sure if I wanted to take that on. I you want something it doesn't matter, just keep your eyes on the prize. the proplem is, that some kids don't 'wear blinders' and don't dare going for it, because theyy feel like it isn't an option. that goes for girls wanting to be firefighter or pilots just the same as for boys wanting to be nurses or kindergarden teachers.
+laramenke Good for you. It's not "male-dominated" though. That's an emotive phrase. It's merely a career, like most, that demands full time work and usually for life, hence why few women are attracted to it. As for firefighters and airforce pilots, few women could ever enter here because of women's comparative physical attributes. Lowering entry standards in such careers is dangerous for all involved. That's not to say NO woman can do the job, of course, but vanishingly few.
+daddybones45 Airforce pilots, firefighters and surgeons operate machinery to do their jobs. That's why physical strength is not required. This change has revolutionised most professions.

Boys are underachieving compared to girls. Largely due to the methods by which we grade performance. The homework/coursework model disadvantages boys & favours girls, but let's not worry about that though. Shall we?
+Hugh O'Toole Funny, even with that "advantage" ,which I can't see, and it's not an issue created by girls, but teachers, for girls - they have it much harder later on in their career. School is not everything. Why is that again?
***** "Even with that 'advantage' which I can't see" Well 60% of of those who are graduating high school, in most western nations. UK, USA, Canada & more are girls. This is well evidenced & a fact that is oft cited by multiple of Governemnt agencies. We see a similar amount in regard to those entering higher education. "It's not an issue created by grills, but by teachers" Teaching is a female dominated workplace environment. "They have it much harder later on in life" Something I will bet that you can't not quantify by use of evidence or data. "Why is that again?" Why is what? Women have it harder? Do they? In what areas are we specifically talking about here? STEM fields, where women get a hiring bias of 2-1. Nursing, female dominated workplace. Teaching, I've already covered. Biology, psychology, sociology all female dominated. Veterinarians are predominantly female. More men that women commit suicide, by a factor of 3-1. In fact in the UK suicide is the biggest cause of death for men between the ages of 18-40. 95% of war deaths are men. 93% of workplace accidental deaths are men. 9 out of 10 people living on the streets are men. Women specific health issues can be funded up to three times the amount that an equivalent men's health issue (compare breast cancer funding to prostate cancer funding, they are similar in regard to prevalence & survivability. So there's no false equivalence). *Please tell me where women have it worse, because I'm struggling to find an area where there actually do*
+Hugh O'Toole so - If women have all the advantages, please explian how all these poorly educated unerachieving men still dominate at top levels of management. If these "favoured" high achieving women and girls were to reach the potential they should wouldn't it be reflected in all levels of business?
Jane Pops How many men make up the upper echelons of our society? 1%, maybe even less. The maths is quite simple, but you feminists don't see the 9 put of 10 people living rough on the streets are men, because your eyes are on loftier sights. Also don't underestimate job choice differences between men & women. Men can succeed in business almost totally on their competitive nature's. Competitiveness highly correlates with levels of testosterone. Which is? The male sex hormone. "Wouldn't it be reflected in all levels" No. You fail to factor in choice again.
+Jane Pops Your argument is baseless and crass, only a rare few are at the top of the pile, women don't want to be there and just saying its not fair means nothing, you have to commit and women don't want to in most hight powered roles, how many women put themselves forward for the Labour leadership, only one out of fifty female members of parliament, you go girl!
Immensely powerful video about emancipation from Gender stereotype. If 5-7 years children have such a paradigm about gender, how are we going to change after 10 years ahead in their life? So Parents especially consider this for a broadminded Youth!
5hadowfax becoz the problem is a lot of girls limit themselves away from jobs like firefighter becoz they are streotyped to guys & itis not balanced.61 pictures were drawn as men & 5 were drawn as women. so we have to #RedrawTheBalance thats the whole point lol
Serene Riiiight, and many boys "limit themselves away" from jobs like schoolteacher, ballet dancer, midwife, nurse, stay-at-home dad, where's their encouragement to #RedrawTheBalance? This seems like an extremely unbalanced #RedrawTheBalance campaign, to me. Also, given that males suffer workplace fatalities and casualties at around about tenfold the rate of females, one wonders why supporters of women would actually want to #RedrawTheBalance .
I feel like this reflects society. If you look at the numbers, the majority of firefighters (~92% in 2018), pilots (~93% in 2019), and surgeons are male (surgeons are the most evenly split with around 40.1% of U.S. general surgery residents being female). So one can see why children are more inclined to draw their pictures as males. I feel like the way to fix this would be to get more females wanting to go into jobs like firefighting, aviation, etc. This will make a female firefighter, pilot, doctor, etc. a more common site and thus children will be more inclined to draw their pictures more evenly split. I do also agree that how stereotypes are expressed to children about gender roles and these specific jobs definitely plays a role, but like I said, I believe that working towards getting more females interested in jobs such as these will definitely help. It'll show children that they don't have to conform to the stereotypes and that they can truly be whatever they want to be. I also feel like this would eventually help to eliminate the stereotypes altogether.
If you are interested in this issue, the video Girl Toys vs Boy Toys: the Experiment - BBC Stories is thought-provoking. Stereotyping starts very early in a child's life.
Great video! It starts at a young age with stereotypes. Sadly the english language doesn´t have masculine/feminine endings like other languages do. or maybe it´s a possibility to redraw the stereotypes because it doesn´t who knows!
+Marcus Cicero 51 *Males* were drawn. Not women. Young boys, and girls of that age can easily imagine a man as a surgeon, fire fighter, or fighter pilot. It's a bit harder to imagine a woman firsthand as one of those things because most of society believes that these jobs are usually fulfilled by men. The purpose of feminism is not to disfranchise men. But to empower women, and support equality. And yes you are very correct, boys do need role models, just as much as girls do. Boys should be able to pursue any job that is usually stereo typically fulfilled by women. But the focus of this video was role models for young girls. To teach them that they can be anything they want to be, despite social stereotypes. I wish you the best of luck with all your ambitions, and have a nice day.
That there are few boys who even think about becoming a kindergarten teacher is part of the problem, absolutely. Show me a feminist who thinks otherwise. I'd be surprised. And if you want to make an inspring video about this, I would love to see it.
So women are Pilots , Doctors , Fire-fighters and still oppressed ? lol Nobody stops them from becoming an engineer, Doctor , Pilot , Coal miner but themselves when they have the choice to pick a course they pursue .I don't know about foreign countries but in India , Parents actually encourage or even peer pressure girls and boys to become an engineer or an doctor ! And guess what loads of girls are doing it but there are also many whom don't even with much support , I say let them choose .
Yes but some people don't have to courage to pursue a career like that as many are over powered by a specific gender and even if they do go in for one of these jobs they pay is far less tham the average man
ummm there's systemic barriers, system attitudes, hostilities when women went through training programs and then get these jobs. I'm just glad women persevered in spite of all that.
@@DeafLori Holy shit! That comment was made 4years ago! And yeah I accept there might definitely be systematic sexism just how there is systematic racism.. We open our minds and learn. 👏🏼👏🏼
Patrick Nelson All they see there is a hero, the same as being a fire person, they don't think about being burned alive while trying to save others either.
@@lunaknight8790 actually in Canada, construction workers job can be stepping stones to mgmt and CEO levels 😁 also it's available as summer jobs which students desperately need.
Great video awful comments. Let me sum up my answers to many questions/rudeness: 1. Yes, there are also stereotypes for men who keep boys from becoming - for example- kindergarten teachers. Yes, this is shitty and please feel free to make a video about this. 2. No, feminism is not saying all men are assholes and we all suffer because of them. 3. No, really, it isn't. 4. Nobody tells women that they all need to be firefighters. They can be anything, that's what this video is about. They can be a stay-at-home-mum or a doctor or an engineer or whatever. 5. Yes, so can boys. Please stop to making this a war.
Yes, that's true: both boys and girls should be able to become whatever they want to without being ridiculed or patronised, but there's an added problem for women in that the work that they are often channelled into through this stereotyping of jobs is often underpaid and undervalued which affects their future earnings and financial independence, especially later in life.
So where is the Video showing Male teachers, Male Nurses and Male Secretarial staff? Or how about a Male Fireman, a Male Surgeon and a Male fighter pilot? Or a Female teacher, Female Nurse and Female secretarial staff? How about rather than forcing this gender balance nonsense down these children's throats you allow them to pursue their own personal desires and not criticize if they chose a gender traditional career path!
+Susanna Griffiths 80% of primary schools having no male teachers at all? In a country where a third of kids have no father in the home? Yeah, that's a colossal problem.
+daddybones45 I agree we need more male primary teachers. This film highlights the stereotype that primary school teachers are female. The viewer automatically assumes the women at the start of the film are primary school teachers when they are not.
+Susanna Griffiths unless you know they are not the teachers, I think it's pretty fair to assume that they are. Still think my point is valid, only females seem to teach our kids about gender bias. Always ignoring the bias when it's in the other direction.
+YUNGxLEExOH yes that would be another helpful thing, but then again, women make 75 cents on the dollar to men so their is an important issue here that this video is just highlighting.
+Zach Engelman The wage gap is based on the *average* earnings between men & women. There are many factors it does not take in to consideration. Factors like time off to have children, women also work less antisocial hours & work less hours in general, women also don't negotiate for higher starting pay or wage rises as much as men do. The wage gap is nit about sexism, it is about the different life choices men & women make.
+Diego Magaña Did you notice how all the teachers were female? As an anti-SJW I think any child can do whatever job they want. What I dislike is propaganda like this. This film was slanted to exclude teachers, nurses, social workers and any other job that the children might have drawn as female.
+Fred Neecher yes I did notice that. and yes this film was indeed slanted to only talk about firefighters, and traditionally male occupations. but im fine with that. yes, they could've included traditionally female occupations such as nurses and then bring in a male nurse. imo that would've made the message of the video a lot stronger and more universal, however they didnt. and just because they didn't, it doesnt mean that its sexist toward men. if this video was JUST about kids drawing female nurses and teachers, and then they brought out a male nurse and teacher, I wouldn't call it sexist against women. I wouldn't whine "you know not all men want to be nurses and where are the women firefighters. you know some women are nurses too." I do take slight issue with the hashtag they chose. Redraw the balance. it sounds like they want to force people into occupations they aren't interested in. yes this is propaganda. but I think it's well done. but yes, I would love to see a video thats the opposite of this and focusing only on boys, or both boys and girls. I would love to see a parody of this video. I would love to see an mra interpretation of this video. and I do think that if the creator of this video was not so biased toward only focusing on women, the video could've been a lot better. it could become more than propaganda. for the record I do not identify as an sjw (if identifying as an sjw is actually a thing) or an anti-sjw. but yeah I do understand the criticisms, but the people that call this sexist toward men, I dont understand.
Those women actually were not teachers, they were the surgeon, firefighter, and pilot. But it was easy to assume they were teachers because women in a school, right?
Jes feminist kriticise it to that by man. Peraps man are not often seen as a nursery in a kindergarten or as a hairdresser, a nurse etc... Jes this is a Problem to. One aspekt of it is the care gap
Michael Brewer It shows the blatant hypocrisy that "feminists" insist on peddling. The gender pay gap is a skewed statistic, not all men are rapists, and feminists don't care about the issues which face males. This is because the liberal feminist movement favours women. Even society as a whole favours women, yet feminist will still claim to be 'victims of sexual harassment' when a man so much as looks at a feminist.
This is such important work - it's so hard to shift stereotypes in adulthood. Well done!
+Andrea Cox I'm going to still insist a bit on the old fire fighter stereotype, but other than that I wholeheartedly agree.
+Andrea Cox Where's the stereotypes that limit young boys? Not very well done at all when you think about it, is it?
Wow this is amazing... I hope I grew up in this country 😕 when I was in school teachers said habitually "Don't be a doctor, don't be a pilot, Be the WIFE of doctor or pilot"...

+YUNGxLEExOH lol does homophobia "work in both directions" too then?
Tubbs Tubbs. One feeds the other, breaking down gender steriotypes cannot really be a bad thing for workplace equality.

The wage gap is based on the *average* earnings between men & women. There are many factors it does not take in to consideration. Factors like time off to have children, women also work less antisocial hours & work less hours in general, women also don't negotiate for higher starting pay or wage rises as much as men do.
The wage gap is nit about sexism, it is about the different life choices men & women make.
Oh, this is so wrong..
I swear anti-SJWs are the new SJWs. This was a great video!
+Diego Magaña Did you notice how all the teachers were female? As an anti-SJW I think any child can do whatever job they want. What I dislike is propaganda like this. This film was slanted to exclude teachers, nurses, social workers and any other job that the children might have drawn as female.
+Fred Neecher yes I did notice that. and yes this film was indeed slanted to only talk about firefighters, and traditionally male occupations. but im fine with that.
yes, they could've included traditionally female occupations such as nurses and then bring in a male nurse. imo that would've made the message of the video a lot stronger and more universal, however they didnt. and just because they didn't, it doesnt mean that its sexist toward men. if this video was JUST about kids drawing female nurses and teachers, and then they brought out a male nurse and teacher, I wouldn't call it sexist against women. I wouldn't whine "you know not all men want to be nurses and where are the women firefighters. you know some women are nurses too."
I do take slight issue with the hashtag they chose. Redraw the balance. it sounds like they want to force people into occupations they aren't interested in.
yes this is propaganda. but I think it's well done.
but yes, I would love to see a video thats the opposite of this and focusing only on boys, or both boys and girls. I would love to see a parody of this video. I would love to see an mra interpretation of this video. and I do think that if the creator of this video was not so biased toward only focusing on women, the video could've been a lot better. it could become more than propaganda.
for the record I do not identify as an sjw (if identifying as an sjw is actually a thing) or an anti-sjw.
but yeah I do understand the criticisms, but the people that call this sexist toward men, I dont understand.
Those women actually were not teachers, they were the surgeon, firefighter, and pilot. But it was easy to assume they were teachers because women in a school, right?
What is a woman?
If they drew 61 pictures of a female and 5 of males in the teaching role, would there be a video about it? Blatant feminist propaganda

Jes feminist kriticise it to that by man. Peraps man are not often seen as a nursery in a kindergarten or as a hairdresser, a nurse etc... Jes this is a Problem to. One aspekt of it is the care gap
Pointing out the lack of gender parity for one group is not the implicit approval of an unmentioned group.
Michael Brewer It shows the blatant hypocrisy that "feminists" insist on peddling. The gender pay gap is a skewed statistic, not all men are rapists, and feminists don't care about the issues which face males. This is because the liberal feminist movement favours women. Even society as a whole favours women, yet feminist will still claim to be 'victims of sexual harassment' when a man so much as looks at a feminist.
+ast1999WtF Ahhhh, you need to untwist those panties you have bunched up.
machete a dallas
lol
Have my dislike.
