Thank you Tedx Women for dragging down the quality of this channel once again. Please go this crap to a different channel.
i will be unsubscribing from this channel. it’s amusing really, this is TED, huge smart TED where thoughts come together & open discourse is encouraged, but this is where i encounter the most sexism. i have never been on a TED video where the comments were all but pure misogyny & sexism. & i’m not talking about TedWomen only, it’s on all the general Ted Discussion. incredible.
I don’t know how or why this talk got so many negative feedback, but i really loved it! Gayle is just scoring one point after another, delivering one hell of a presentation.
Tedx Women WTF, why make a women only ted? this is stupid
TEDxSexism
@chicblossom So you subscribe to channels based on how other viewers note? Or do you subscribe to channels based on how the operators of those channels censor the comments?
“Why is there a TED for women?”
-Globally and even in the developed nation of America women have an evident disadvantage to overcome when it comes to affair or human rights. So if we need a TED to even out the playing field then I’m all for it. Stop complaining and stop disliking JUST because it’s a TEDxWomen video. But if it truly sucks then feel free to despise (ie Jane Fonda Video).
@chicblossom Goodbye. You will not be missed.
@GIUGIK1 hahahaha i know bb.
@Rarae192 no. not at all. the way youtube is designed you cannot escape the note section, if there’s a way i could disable comments or something, i would. i subscribed to TedTalks because i like TedTalks, but for a long time i have found myself not clicking on new videos b/c i knew what was going to be there, so there’s no longer a point in being subscribed
@chicblossom “I don’t watch videos because I don’t like the comments about those videos, so there’s no longer a point in being subscribed.” Sounds a lot like you basing your subscription on comments, as opposed to “No, not at all”. Why don’t you just watch the videos and ignore the comments (i.e. don’t scroll down to their level)?
I reckon the point behind, presumably males, raising an incredulous eyebrow whenever an equality-based enterprise has a “women”-dedicated subdivision is that it is highlighting women as inferior. It’s not just that women are being given special attention & we’re responding out of jealousy, but that it is patronizing women, not empowering them, by giving them a handicap when (not even competing) in the company of males.
woman are the exception in the world of entrepreneurship lol all that estrogen destroys their abilities for affair
@TheaDragonSpirit
As I already said, I am a man.
You didn’t list equal distribution in all fields. The answer to that one is NOPE.
What more that is wanted includes but is not limited to no sexual discrimination, and no hostile work environments for either sex.
@dookiecheez
CONTINUED:
Money doesn’t cause sexism, nor what a resource based economy in some way eliminate it. Your assertion that there isn’t any inequality, which is one of many forms of denial, are part of the problem that needs to be addressed in order for sexism to be resolved.

“It’s not our country but if a RBE was made then this would break this problem. ”
1. What’s our country
2. How would RBE solve sexism?
I like women. Pussy feels very excellent. Especially on my penis. Pussy and astro glide plus my dick is some excellent shit. I like pussy.it feels excellent. I want to see more videos like this. Thank you.
I don’t know, I’m just too enlightened by TZM to appreciate this. making jobs and finding these entrepreneurs is still slave labour and slave labour is incorrect. I will agree that sexism is immature but that’s what happens in a world plagued by religions where women must struggle for these supposed rights which nobody in their right minds want to commence with like voting.
@dookiecheez – Your one of those guys. Your the worst kind of sexist. You piss me off you guys, you’re like that guy on crash the film. You see things and assume a name is racist or sexist when in reality you’re the sexist. You probable stick up for women thinking there weak and need looking after. You probable give guys who give women a bit of shit like there sexist. You’re the worst kind of sexist! YOU LOOK DOWN ON WOMEN AND THINK THERE WEAK! THEY ARE NOT! GROW UP! THIS VIDEO DOES THE SAME!
@dookiecheez – You’re sexist! Please stop talking to me. If the world was even and people had no wits to look down on women, like people like you do, then all would be treat as equals. Sexism is treating women any different from anyone else… be it man or child. You treat people like they can be incredible and like they are strong enough not small princesses who need protecting. You probable go around reckon your noble protecting girls… and there not huge girls and women! You disgust me!
@dookiecheez – simple it would make equal grounding where people would have no more strength then any one else. Terrible morals and lack of having enough makes racism and makes sexism. There would be nothing a women could not do that a guy could not do. Second sexism in people is just a terrible mind set that can be worked out. And would be in general on any people overly sexist, all has tendencies due to environment. So over time this would be ironed out.
DISLIKED IT. Men exist! We are not your enemies! This is not a war!
Having spent unusual amounts of time studying Susan Faludi, Gloria, Steinham, Naomi Wolf, etc, etc, and really getting behind the women as an equality feminist, I’m surprised to notice that no woman has ever wanted to return my respect, but views me furiously as a hostile competitor. Try to make friends and they reckon you’re hitting on them. Which is would be evil apparently. Etc…
Here in Japan… I can just Be Me. Staying.
Well open, fantastically researched and hugely moving. Thank you so much.
