In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

As a guy, I really appreciate her stating the importance of men and dads. Men need women, women need men, and children need BOTH parents. There's a reason both men and women exist.
Huge fan! Love the fact that I can hear her live, in addition to her fabulous books...
I am just speechless after reading her books. I don’t know what will be the proper praise her. I respect her so much. She changed my notions about female and this book gives me lots of answer about female and finally I am convinced and got fully mental satisfaction.

Siiii, yo estoy en igual situación, cuánto me habría ahorrado de angustia si hubiera leído su libro ha e 20 años!!!!!😢
This was a great ted talk! Very funny and informative. Thank you for sharing!
It is refreshing to listen to a contemporary academic scientist not attempting to disprove the obvious.
Brilliant content, congratulations

While you're at it you should read Fine's book "Delusions of Gender" which in Chapter 14 offers a concise and damning critique of Brizendine's misrepresentation of scientific literature.

This chick is off the chain at about 11.00.
At 6:43, after describing how girls and boys play differently, she says "No one's taught these children at 3, 4, 5, 6 to do that". That's not true! They've already had years of exposure to culture and it's many ways of marking binary gender roles.

This is still very controversial since many other scientists have argued that there really is not a whole lot of differences between men and women and we’re more alike than different. Since we are of the same species after all.

@@willnill7946 humans have instinctual need to think of things in binary terms. Do all "male brains" function the same? Do all "female brains" function the same? Are the differences between the sexes greater than within the sexes? In the end we are humans capable of independent thoughts and we know the world isn't a simple binary system of pink and blue

Nah…. This is only controversial to those who want their own opinion to be taken as reality
The audio on this video either has too much testosterone or not enough.
the wet noises coming from her mic are sickening
Wonder what the Cultural Marxists would think of this.
Slightly not trans-inclusive with some slightly yikes-y moments but generally interesting
