TED Talk

For one of my classes I watched this amazing video and I thought it would be fun to share and get a few insights from all of you on what you think about this topic of feminism. In no way do I think of myself as feminist. I believe in a woman staying home to be a loving, nurturing, mother while the man goes to work to provide for the family. On top of that, I believe that a man and woman should be equal in their say on raising their family. I feel strongly that men should be very involved as fathers in their children's lives. Here were a few points I picked out from the video. Do you agree or disagree with them?

·      Women are to remain quiet and reserve what you truly think -Disagree

·      Women cannot be sexual beings, men can -Disagree

·      Women should bring back the perfect man for marriage -Agree/Disagree because no one is perfect
