There are so many fascinating, inspiring, well-versed TED talks.

This is not one of them.

Not to detract from her point but we do not put men first in English because of some misogynistic bias. We do it because in English it is more natural to order pairs from least syllables to most. Most male nouns have less syllables than their female counterparts. One exception is "ladies and gentlemen" which puts the female noun first for this reason.

I love hearing about inclusive language from her perspective. And as a native Vietnamese speaker, to address an audience in English on a topic that many still find controversial - well done!

I’m sorry but pointing out “we say ‘men and women’ or ‘husband and wife’ rather than the other way around” as evidence of bias but then not admitting that it’s always “moms and dads” or “mothers and fathers” and “ladies and gentleman” every time is dishonest

So many thanks! Your perspectives are valuable and so well communicated!

She is completely right, all I see in the comments are people who are born speaking English judging her because of the way she speaks, try to think about what she is saying before your preconceptions show up, Americans are so self centered that when someone judge your way of living you attack her. And stop the lgbtq fobia here too ...

You cannot force people to think and speak differently ("inclusively") while maintaining democracy.
End od discussion.

Easier in Welsh, "Siwmae pawb!" - "Hello everyone". Trouble though is most nouns are male / female eg "athro" - "male teacher", "athrowes" - "female teacher". There is no word (yet) for just "teacher"
