The future of any legitimate endeavor is merit and competence, not immutable characteristics.

[Honorbound]

So glad reading these comments. Everyone is tired of the men vs women and the radical feminism.

We all got here together.

[anuragtyagi]

Why does it have to be men vs woman all the time, can't we choose the best person or individual possible. Stop this division for your personal gain.

[The_Patbey]

Why make something gender-specific that has nothing to do with gender

[valeriebenson]

And, just like that Ted Talks just went to a genre of clapping seals.

[Hispanicwoman]

The comment section has much more common sense, than the video itself. 😌

[kooln]

The worlds leading consumers are the future of finance….we are being trolled everyday

[sergiom]

The future will be lead for the most competent people regardless of their gender and those forcefully put by governments who identify as a certain side of the gender spectrum.

[tigadirt]

Oh ted talks, what happened. You used to be so informative and creative and imaginative. Now it's almost all virtue signaling and people who seem to have less than a competent understanding of the world at large. I used to favourite so many videos from you.

[JoelEmmettMcGarrity]

My family is wealthy and it’s thanks to both my mum and dad, honestly if she started talking like this to my parents they’d laugh and walk away thinking she’s a scammer. Lmao.

[andrewrobinson]

Wow, this video has 300 likes! It must be doing really well

[justinh]

No one is holding women back. I’m in engineering. We’d love more women in our field, but they don’t choose to study it. But I’m sure we’re to blame for that 🙄

[hanzlearningsolutions]

This is stereotyping woman which I personally don't agree with. Why do we need to divide professional based on being a man or woman? This doesn't make any sense. And nope the professions are constantly changing and we are the ones that are going to make changes instead of these kinda videos.

[DoctorDoom]

Not being funny but men built the entire concept of finance itself

[emmanuelakanbi]

I'm dead bro women never cease to amaze me.

[MrStefgosselin]

Please lady, that discourse is outdated.

[morra-is-me]

Instead of proving why women are better in this element she immediately directs to criticizing men. You should not use counter claims as your main argument.

[ZPositive]

Yes, I agree. The future is a bunch of maxed-out credit cards.

[jenniferpierce]

I interpret Anita's message as not being about division, but rather about making room for all. It's disheartening to read some of the comments on this thread - which seem to be from those who want to keep the status quo and not make room for others.

[hal]

There are a lot of things wrong with this video. This is very offensive.
