COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO HAVE BEEN CLOSED.

From the moment you arrive on this earth, people are making lifestyle decisions for you. Boys and girls are forced to live within certain labels from the day they are born, and these gender norms have contributed to a current state of inequality in our society. Feminism aims to change this, but due to numerous misconceptions around it, feminism is seen as a "bad word" by many and can be seen as a taboo topic. In this talk, Danya Sanderson dispels some of the rumours and misconceptions about feminism, and explains why everyone should be a feminist.
