Oh please, please, please; watch this. Is there a woman or a girl in your life? Have you ever set eyes ona woman or girl? If so, this is important; more important that you can imagine.
Caroline Heldman breaks down what sexual objectification really is and how it affects the functioning of women throughout their every day.
The Sexy Lie: Caroline Heldman - TED Youth in San Diego
TED Talks Description:
A leading advocate for spotlighting how the mainstream media contributes
to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence
in America, Caroline Heldman offers straight talk and an
often-startling look at the objectification of women in our society. She
illustrates how it has escalated, how we have become inured to its
damaging effects and what we can do individually and collectively to
demolish the paradigms that keep us from a better world.
Chair of
the politics department of Occidential College in Los Angeles, Dr.
Heldman appeared in the acclaimed documentary, Miss Representation and
is co-editor of "Madame President: Are We Ready for a Woman in the White
House?" She is a frequent commentator on radio and television and a
regular contributor to Ms. Magazine.
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)
