She really explains it well at 1:50 when she starts to talk about how sexual harassment is about power. Most people who have not experienced sexual harassment don't understand this. They may have never experienced the powerlessness one feels when confronted with a comment from someone who holds power over you. They say things like, "Why did they wait so long?" They don't get that sometimes making complaints makes life much worse when the person you're complaining about has power over you. You could lose your job, your credibility, your husband may not believe you, your friends may think you're making a big deal out of nothing, other women may feel like you're just too sensitive because all women deal with this. Sexual harassment victims feel like they can't win no matter what... so they stay silent... UNTIL NOW #PreventSexualHarassment #EncouragingEquityatWork #RespectinTheWorkplace
i strongly am against sexual harassment but i wish more men would come out too. men have a harder time of coming out about sexual harassment because of how easily we accept a woman's denial....
Gretchen, thank you for sharing. I never knew the extent of the depravity that some men will go to. I will make sure this never happens to any woman who works for me or who is in my organization.
The women at my organization are in on it. It has been only a couple of weeks since the male harasser was hired on, and I have worked there for many years. A male sexual harasser has appeared that is so bad that I am now fleeing my job. I will put in two weeks notice to escape this ruthless beast who will make any nasty story about a woman he has to because that woman denies him the chance to get closer. An absolute monster, and I have to honestly say, the only thing I can do is flee.
Nothing works ,if management doesnt support us.I was harrassed and stalked.When i complained,the HR people asked me whether i wanted transfer out of my home town to another state(threat).No action was taken against the harasser.I need the job so bad and i stayed mum about it.And its killing me

Absolutely unacceptable!I've been having difficulty in New Brunswick. I was impregnated when a minor. The RCMP refuse to charge the individual for the crime (Jean Guy Maillet)although I have the math and the child to prove it! blatantly denying my human rights. Their attitude is similar. I am also terminally ill due to medical negligence Dr William Taylor, & Dr.(former) Jonathan Taylor, and physical abuse from spouses/thieves Gilles Malenfant etc.. I am a Worldclass artist now not gonna last much longer, have a daughter and 3 grandchildren been waiting for my revenue for a long time. I am being systematically murdered. I was even threatened with an axe a few days ago and they will do nothing!!!! since 1993 for me. I have a daughter and 3 grandchildren, who are also being placed in harm's way.🤬
I have been inappropriately touched at my work by a colleague. I told him not to do that again, and he didn't.I've had a couple of other situations like that with other people... when I decided I wanted to talk about it with a senior, I was told that SHE( I knew it would be good to talk to a woman) was certain they did not mean in that way. But I don't care what they mean with it or what their goal might be... I just had to get it off my chest. Some female colleagues told me their stories too. which made me feel like we can do something about it. t's not my problem, it's a problem that's all over,everywhere. But even when I told another of my superiors, I felt like he thought I was just whining...Not thinking about a solution that could help others as well. It feels absolutely disgusting...
At my workplace, a lot of young women workers secretly crush on the 'handsome' male coworkers. And then they get angry and start drama when the male coworkers reject them.
Women get mad when a ugly guy talks to them.or they have a bf at work and you speak to them oh the guy being nice is a sexual harrasser bc you have a control freak for a boyfriend and you want to please him.
I think it is about the self respect and the way a woman (or a man... I have been a witness of a sexual harassment towards a good looking young chap from older females at work) present themselves and set boundaries. Personally I didn't come across bullying and harassment not at my school, uni or workplace... I don't except this type of behaviour in the first place, however I saw cases, when women would giggle at the dirty jokes (I'm not sure if they enjoyed the attention or loughing was an uncontrolled defence mechanism), but nobody complained, so it could be assumed that such behaviour is acceptable. I think that mentally healthy men and women do work well together, in this day and age inequality and harassment in the workplace became a big no-no! The harsh cases presented in this video sound more like attempted rape, and this is a criminal offence.
And that sexual harassment also includes women as harassers Although EXTREMELY rare, it still can happen, mostly to children, since most teachers are in fact female
"Although EXTREMELY rare, " it actually isnt extremely rare...its just the our standards for what is considered harrasment is very very low for men and very very high for women.
I have been sexually harassed by woman this needs to be talked about. Both men and woman can get sexually harassed. I lost a job due to this once I knew that things wouldn’t change. Now I don’t know what to say if someone asks why I left my last job.
I am sorry about what happened to you. nobody claims it can't happen with men, the probability might be less but significant, problem is men doesn't speak about it as much , therefore get ignored .
And I've been accused of harassment in the past when I did nothing and was never told I was bothering anyone. Still, its not as bad as what some women experience
Informative talk...I respect her voice on this issue, and commend her for her courage to speak truth to power. However, I do judge her on her past actions. Imo, not just her, but a majority of "on-air talent" at FOX news in particular, (but as a whole throughout the entire corporate media) completely lose or at best temporary displace all or a good portion of their morality as a prerequisite for employment. Her complicity in ushering in this perpetual corporate tyranny we all face should not be overlooked or understated.
As with all things in life, dont do what you dont want to happen to yourself. But if it would be that easy this woman had no point of talking at this show. We all need to support the end of every harassment!
This Ted youtube feature of Gretchen Wilson How We Can End Sexual Harassment At Work is a very brave presentation and Gretchen Wilson presents the feature with powerful conviction. The women Gretchen Wilson references in her moving presentation are also courageous for sharing with her their stories.
I'm all for equality, and frankly, I have yet to see any sexual harassment in all of the 6+ companies I have worked for. And frankly, those companies I work for, the woman are praised for literally everything, and given promotion over some guy who has worked way longer and harder than them. That just might be because of the selected area of work I have done in a progressive city, and the companies I worked for are desperately afraid of getting sued therefore treat females like a princess. It sucks to hear that this happens, and I do not doubt that it does, but it seems that there is no consideration that maybe some of these claims of women saying its sexism are not the entire context. I have seen many guys get turned down a job that they are overqualified for, simply because the company is trying to fill a quota of females so they look like to other potential employees as well as good PR. With that said, something to add that I have noticed is guys tend to go overboard with not trying to overstep on females to the point that we're walking on eggshells, and that is something that is not addressed. This is not to invalidate sexual harassment that happens in the workplace, I just have yet to see it or hear it from someone in person.
Women need to start taking the power back! Start openly farting in the workplace. The louder and stinkier the better. No one will hit on you again. Ever.
Ugh and here come all the insufferable comments that accompany vids like this; "I'm a man and I suffer sexual harassment" "some women lie" "Oh not this topic again" "That's not harassment"
Every Co workers 👫 should protest against sexual harassment.. For men & women... After all we need a respectful society for our children... If majority of women's stay home for this.. A country's development will lag behind.
The trolls in these comments make me absolutely disgusted. It is really not that hard to not sexually harass someone. You don’t need a class on “reading people”. It is not a “gender war”. We don’t need “complete gender segregation” in the workplace. What we need is for everyone to act like decent human beings to each other. What Gretchen says is absolutely true and she is brave for speaking up! The response to this video, both in dislikes as well as troll comments, just further proves the point that this talk is clearly needed.
I feel respected by men wherever I go. Of corse, With only a few exceptions. And maybe many of the so called Sexual harassment situations, were a man trying to flirt. Flirt should not be considered a crime.
+hotshot No, it's more like, if you're confident and know how to talk to people without being a creep, and have good intentions, it's flirting, if you're a creep who forces women's faces down your crotch in a display of power, you know, some people might consider that harassment
The second part yes would be assault (grabbing someone). The first part you're saying if the guy has game it's fine, if not it's a crime. An attractive charismatic person can have the same intentions as a less attractive uncharismatic person. The only difference is the attraction level. The funny thing is women today have such an inflated sense of self-worth they rate 80% of males below average. If this keeps on the same track then no men will ever want to flirt with women since they aren't within that top percentage where it won't be considered harassment.
The prostitution trade in the United States is estimated to generate $14 billion a year. A 2012 report by Fondation Scelles indicated that there were an estimated 1 million prostitutes in the U.S.
you are so right. I left my job because of sexual harassment from my manager. He had tried to planted cheap ideas into my head, but I always shut him by logical reasons, to the point he could not talk to me back. But the next day he would be starting this BS again with some more BS. I changed my shift to daytime so that I would not be working with him. Then he came on his day off to talk this BS with me. I changed my time completely to not having any contact with him. Still, he blamed me with stupid accusation and non-stop problems. So I left my job. That was how stupid and sick he was. He made me felt so disgusted by his present every time when I saw him coming to the work place on his day off. I was so sick of this person that I need to find tasks required travelling so that I would not have to put up with his sick mind. Despite all my efforts, I still left my job, because of I did not feel safe anymore. Look at our society now, the music videos, movies, and fashion sending wrong messages to young girls, boys and men as if women were a piece of meat or women like to be treated that way. Come on! Where is equality? Men are still controlling the society and exploiting women by sending wrong messages to youth. I mean, some famous people move her butt and opening her legs wide, and flashing nearly all of her boost on tv, what the differences between that and a prostitute!!!?
I usually avoid women at my job unless it’s really necessary that I talk to them about a specific work related topic. It’s just easier and I’m protected against misunderstandings. And how do you have stats on unreported harassment?? How is that possible?
I do the same and get in trouble with my boss, because a female coworker complained about that I would ignore her and that this behavior is disrespectful against women. She works in a totally different department. Work related topics don't exist between me and her. This behavior is not a solution at least in my case.
Alcar Sharif you might of been honest with your boss that with all this recent talk about harassment in the work place that you are hesitant and nervous of your interactions with your female coworkers and were just to overly cautious with how you engaged with them which may of came off as rude and that you'll work on it if anything. It's a scary time for both men and woman with all this stuff coming up especially when you have videos like this separating people instead of forming a united front against work place sexual harassment.
I take any kind of harassment seriously and I take religious harassment and supremacy seriously and At the same time There some people you don't take seriously and You got to know the difference there!
Anish Gole Please tone down your condescension and hop off your high horse, and actually attempt to start a conversation and see why people are disliking instead of just dismissing their grievance as a whole.
Uleczka Kropeczka fair? I don't understand your argument. What isn't fair about me saying the truth? Was I making comments about her appearance? TED has very high standard and this is why we're all here. I would want it to be strong but it wasn't. What's unfair in putting it on writing and defining what others obviously could sense themselves?
Varun Raj what am I DOING? I'm obviously writing my opinion. That's what talkbacks are for. Is that an American thing to try and make ppl apologies all the time? Or is it only the liberals?
I'm a 52 year old guy. One of 2 order takers at a high end Boating store. My counterpart is a 27 year old gal who looks like a young Sophia Loren. Our "boss" is the son of the owner - about my age, bald and overweight. He is constantly hitting on "Sophia" and criticizing me. "Sophia" answers about 2 calls a day and I'm on at least 15. "Sophia" constantly getting gifts, time off, etc. Who is the harassed one here?
I’ve gotten from management… What’s that thing on your face? (Then she laughed) She asked why my hair is shaved (I lied about why because she doesn’t deserve to know the real answer as to why it’s none of her business and she shows that she’s an un trust worthy person and is immature. Gossips Has no empathy for customers Been called sexy by a female co worker as I was changing my shirt (had a tank top on) Recently another co worker said that the reason why I hurt my back is because I was in all these different positions with my boyfriend and also hanging on the chandelier. This is from a female co worker who’s apparently a so called Christian. 🤷♀️ I’m sitting here with no job. We just went through the sexual harassment training to and 2 of the woman didn’t learn anything from it. I told management but by then I was just done. I also had a co worker bully me for mumbling. She would mumble back. Extremely immature people of no help to me. It’s also truly pathetic when you try to open up and ask co workers about their life (they are able to talk about their own lives) but when it comes to me no one ever asks about mine nor do they care it’s truly truly sad. God is showing me who I am and who I want to be though and I really want to love people genuinely.
Preface: this is mostly intended to be a dialogue about marketing your ideas I really don't think anything you can suggest will ever actually permanently remove any facet of evil from It seems much more like an awareness piece. Additionally I don't really subscribe to all of the rhetoric surrounding the common arguments surrounding risk assessment among a few other things you mentioned. (IE "asking for it"--not that anyone in their right mind would say that--but every time I hear that argument it's usually used in the context of late night strolls in sketchy areas) Although a great counterpoint is I don't get out much and live in a pretty liberal area, so my data set is pretty skewed towards reasonable/decent human beings. Removing that clause would help errybody, it's not only a women's rights issue it's also a human rights issue. I totally agree with the base message and I think the reason why you get the "Oh boy we're in for a ride" type messages are because you speak from a very pained place and may be read as accusatory or defensive. And, yeah, I know--no one read this.
Why is it that whenever women make their struggle public men are like "me too, hey? So don't say you are the only one suffering"? Why instead of complaining that she isn't including you bc chances are she got more mails from women bc more women are harrased, you take your time to make your struggle public too? It's like she did something wrong for not advocating for harassed men too. If men want to be heard speak up, but don't shame the women that don't speak for you every time they have the chance to speak for other women. Speak up and women will support you. Can you do the same?
+doesn't matter I don't see men saying "I was a victim, and I want people to recognize men can be sexually harassed too" I see men saying "So she thinks men can't be raped!!! Feminism is cancer!!!!111!!1!"
Perhaps when women stop using their 'sexuality' to get ahead in life, this would help stop men sometimes being inappropriate?! It would be an interesting survey to ask women how many of them have done so and if they know any woman who has done so.
I have the solution, gender segregation, men work in their own companies and women can work in their own companies, segregate bars, stores, public transportation, there problem fixed
To quote the late, great Patrice O'Neal... ua-cam.com/video/3eAU0EadxEc/v-deo.html Even though he is being a bit raw at times he makes some good points. Also, the few will always ruin it for the many. Much of what people propose (not necessarily from this video), unecessarily punishes the many men who have respect. Thank you. Good night.
Its significantly worse, she actually insinuated that our response to 9/11 was good and we should use it as a model to respond to sexual harassment in the work place. She literally wants to make the workplace as inhospitable, inefficient and violating as an airport is. She uses long debunked statistics and says we need to make a law, when there is already a law in existence.
Forced arbitration clauses are not actually legal. They just try to intimidate people into not telling. Everytime an arbitraion clause regarding sexual harrasment comes up it loses in court.
The real problem is someone needs to sacrifice their reputation as the first whistleblower in order to help others speak up. Hopefully they have evidence, but they probably often don't. False allegations are made all the time, and sometimes ruin the lives of innocent people. And the secretive nature of real harassers and assaulters is part of what makes speaking up so difficult.
yes but she is focusing on women since it happens to women about 98% of the time. Also, to the men that get harassed it is usually done by other men so..
Unfortunately sexual harassment happens to both genders, and people need to stop putting this double standard and work together to fix the problem. I have witnessed a man be sexually harassed, and I thought it was disgusting just as if it was done to a woman. Unfortunately it is even more unlikely for men fo come foward. Sexual misconduct will only stop like she said if we all get on the same page and fight it together. Men and women can help end rape culture in our society.
Mayra Macias true i agree with you however sadly this video does not focus on this we need talks focusing on all sides like you said not just one part of sexual misconduct and it will be easier to shut down the rape culture for both genders
Making inappropriate advances on someone is never okay, no matter the gender. However, she is talking about the magnitude of women that go through it, to the point where they could lose their job if they don’t comply. The stats show that most men don’t go through sexual harassment as much as women do. Men don’t feel like they have to be forced to do a sexual act in order to keep their job or get a promotion. A woman in charge would most likely never force a man’s head into her lap if he wanted to get the job. He would just get it based on merit. And that’s where the problem is.
People say this can happen vice versa, and it can! But this is a lady has seen opinions on this from other women, so that is what she touched upon. If u want to see a talk of sexual harassment with the boys are victims, touch upon the subject yourselves and stop whining.
Someone commented call police case closed. Yah you said it. Many times I called police and the case was closed even before it had started. Most times police don't believe or just don't care.
There is likely so many dislikes because the title of the video is "how we can end sexual harassment in the workplace" when the first 10 minutes of the video is testimonials from a woman, who despite her many admirable achievements pats herself on the back about being all women's voice and is, quite frankly, a bad speaker
9.9/10 emotion 0.1 statistics, I rate 1/10 "too much repetitiveness" - ign on other news girl talks about what she learned as a prisoner in north korea.
There is this creepy customer at my new job who is unemployed and about twice my age. And he SMELLS SO BAD. He comes in everyday about closing time and literally every day I work asks me what my schedule is and where I am working next. And IN MY PERSONAL SPACE. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I told my bosses and they say he's harmless he just doesn't have friends but if I feel threatened to come find them. He has called me beautiful, and to be honest I where a t shirt, sweatpants and no Makeup. Yeah I've delt wth creepy customers in my days many times. But apparently i found out this guy has asked the other two older women who work there their schedules over and over until he stops. MAYBE if this guy is so lonely and has no friends idk maybe you could at least shower and not hit on young women. Idk just an idea throwing it out there. So whats the moral of the story here ladies, if you want to get hit on by creepy petafiles, then just be a cashier!
First we end sexual harrassment at work. Then we end people wearing sleeves that aren't attached to the rest of their outfit. WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, BASKETBALL PLAYERS.
There are facts in here. Men who harass follow predatory behavior. Women who come forward are not taken seriously, for all the excuses she mentioned. I don't think women should be automatically believed. Their cases must, however, be taken seriously. That is clearly not the case here
Why wouldn't emotion be relevant in this topic? Appealing to emotion is only wrong in subjects where emotion is not a factor. Failure to empathise is part of the problem here.
I get it. No matter which side of the argument people in this comment section are on, I'm pretty sure all of them can agree on the fundamental concept of sexual harassment being a crime and something to be punished. However, people are disagreeing on how widespread of a issue it is. Some would say we've done everything we realistically can to prevent it and any events you do see are the uncontrollable/unpreventable outliers. Others argue from the stance of it's never been enough, big steps are required before things can even be close to being alright. That's my understanding of it at least. But to make a change or to be convincing you can't simply play the emotion card. Nor can you say that everyone who doesn't empathize for a stranger outside of their personal life is a sociopath/monster. Her experience and her emotions are an important part of her opinion, but if she wanted change she needed more than that.
She really explains it well at 1:50 when she starts to talk about how sexual harassment is about power. Most people who have not experienced sexual harassment don't understand this. They may have never experienced the powerlessness one feels when confronted with a comment from someone who holds power over you. They say things like, "Why did they wait so long?" They don't get that sometimes making complaints makes life much worse when the person you're complaining about has power over you. You could lose your job, your credibility, your husband may not believe you, your friends may think you're making a big deal out of nothing, other women may feel like you're just too sensitive because all women deal with this. Sexual harassment victims feel like they can't win no matter what... so they stay silent... UNTIL NOW #PreventSexualHarassment #EncouragingEquityatWork #RespectinTheWorkplace

Maybe you were just a crappy employee.
There is No time to be a silent witness. It's time to bear witness to these times.
YEAH ! Brava ! Let's make a law to protect against sexual harassment (everywhere : at work and everywhere else !) Thank you for this video !!!
i strongly am against sexual harassment but i wish more men would come out too. men have a harder time of coming out about sexual harassment because of how easily we accept a woman's denial....
nothing can take your power from you, you are strong than anything in this world.
very important to distinguish between harassment an assault, so many women think it's harassment when it's actually assault.
Gretchen, thank you for sharing. I never knew the extent of the depravity that some men will go to. I will make sure this never happens to any woman who works for me or who is in my organization.

It sucks to hear that this happens, and I do not doubt that it does, but it seems that there is no consideration that maybe some of these claims of women saying its sexism are not the entire context. I have seen many guys get turned down a job that they are overqualified for, simply because the company is trying to fill a quota of females so they look like to other potential employees as well as good PR. With that said, something to add that I have noticed is guys tend to go overboard with not trying to overstep on females to the point that we're walking on eggshells, and that is something that is not addressed. This is not to invalidate sexual harassment that happens in the workplace, I just have yet to see it or hear it from someone in person.
Women need to start taking the power back! Start openly farting in the workplace. The louder and stinkier the better. No one will hit on you again. Ever.
I think it's great so many women are coming out about this.
Ugh and here come all the insufferable comments that accompany vids like this; "I'm a man and I suffer sexual harassment" "some women lie" "Oh not this topic again" "That's not harassment"
MJ Those don't apply here. This is a simple case of a diva who got butthurt about being fired for objectively-measured chronically-low ratings.
Every Co workers 👫 should protest against sexual harassment.. For men & women... After all we need a respectful society for our children... If majority of women's stay home for this.. A country's development will lag behind.
The comments reinforce my fear though 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The trolls in these comments make me absolutely disgusted. It is really not that hard to not sexually harass someone. You don’t need a class on “reading people”. It is not a “gender war”. We don’t need “complete gender segregation” in the workplace. What we need is for everyone to act like decent human beings to each other. What Gretchen says is absolutely true and she is brave for speaking up!
The response to this video, both in dislikes as well as troll comments, just further proves the point that this talk is clearly needed.
Damn. These guys that this woman work with got some balls cause i be scared as heck to talk to a woman like that at work.
The slippery creeps will always be out there but the obvious creeps need to get booted asap.
I love looking at the comments when it's anything to do with women's rights. The Brolosophers are back to tell us how rational they are!
Lennon6412 Do you have an argument?
+doesn't matter
I'm not arguing, I was making an observation
youre stupid....
dont get mad...it was just an observation.
I feel respected by men wherever I go. Of corse, With only a few exceptions. And maybe many of the so called Sexual harassment situations, were a man trying to flirt. Flirt should not be considered a crime.
If they are hot its flirting. If they are ugly it's harassment and a crime.
This ^
Try to explain that to these people.
+hotshot No, it's more like, if you're confident and know how to talk to people without being a creep, and have good intentions, it's flirting, if you're a creep who forces women's faces down your crotch in a display of power, you know, some people might consider that harassment
The second part yes would be assault (grabbing someone). The first part you're saying if the guy has game it's fine, if not it's a crime. An attractive charismatic person can have the same intentions as a less attractive uncharismatic person. The only difference is the attraction level. The funny thing is women today have such an inflated sense of self-worth they rate 80% of males below average. If this keeps on the same track then no men will ever want to flirt with women since they aren't within that top percentage where it won't be considered harassment.
The prostitution trade in the United States is estimated to generate $14 billion a year. A 2012 report by Fondation Scelles indicated that there were an estimated 1 million prostitutes in the U.S.
it happens to men too!
you are so right. I left my job because of sexual harassment from my manager. He had tried to planted cheap ideas into my head, but I always shut him by logical reasons, to the point he could not talk to me back. But the next day he would be starting this BS again with some more BS. I changed my shift to daytime so that I would not be working with him. Then he came on his day off to talk this BS with me. I changed my time completely to not having any contact with him. Still, he blamed me with stupid accusation and non-stop problems. So I left my job. That was how stupid and sick he was. He made me felt so disgusted by his present every time when I saw him coming to the work place on his day off. I was so sick of this person that I need to find tasks required travelling so that I would not have to put up with his sick mind. Despite all my efforts, I still left my job, because of I did not feel safe anymore. Look at our society now, the music videos, movies, and fashion sending wrong messages to young girls, boys and men as if women were a piece of meat or women like to be treated that way. Come on! Where is equality? Men are still controlling the society and exploiting women by sending wrong messages to youth. I mean, some famous people move her butt and opening her legs wide, and flashing nearly all of her boost on tv, what the differences between that and a prostitute!!!?
Bro, what is your point? Your literally saying women should have equal rights, but saying that it’s bad for a woman to flash her bum what???
I usually avoid women at my job unless it’s really necessary that I talk to them about a specific work related topic. It’s just easier and I’m protected against misunderstandings. And how do you have stats on unreported harassment?? How is that possible?
ITs sad that when men get harassment, they just keep it to themselves.
I do the same and get in trouble with my boss, because a female coworker complained about that I would ignore her and that this behavior is disrespectful against women.
She works in a totally different department. Work related topics don't exist between me and her.
This behavior is not a solution at least in my case.
Have you told your boss your intentions?
Alcar Sharif you might of been honest with your boss that with all this recent talk about harassment in the work place that you are hesitant and nervous of your interactions with your female coworkers and were just to overly cautious with how you engaged with them which may of came off as rude and that you'll work on it if anything.
It's a scary time for both men and woman with all this stuff coming up especially when you have videos like this separating people instead of forming a united front against work place sexual harassment.
I take any kind of harassment seriously and I take religious harassment and supremacy seriously and
At the same time There some people you don't take seriously and You got to know the difference there!
How to end starts at 9:40
Damn. People dislike before they have even watched the video.
It's ok to disagree and dislike a video, but watch it first. Jesus.
simple, respect yourself and respect others. stop acting like demons, everyone
As always, the comments here and the insecure people writing them show us the necessity and urgency of these talks.
Anish Gole Please tone down your condescension and hop off your high horse, and actually attempt to start a conversation and see why people are disliking instead of just dismissing their grievance as a whole.
Ooh the irony.
Immediately paused the video, just scrolled down to the comment section
This issue is way too important to be presented in such a weak way. I mean, it wasn't really a TED standard high quality lecture.
Elinor G it was also very sexually bias and one sided :)
Elinor G Come on, that's not fair.
Uleczka Kropeczka fair? I don't understand your argument. What isn't fair about me saying the truth? Was I making comments about her appearance? TED has very high standard and this is why we're all here. I would want it to be strong but it wasn't. What's unfair in putting it on writing and defining what others obviously could sense themselves?
Fin Taylor did you want them to include the sexual attacker's side? Seriously now, women suffer the most, deal with it.
Varun Raj what am I DOING? I'm obviously writing my opinion. That's what talkbacks are for. Is that an American thing to try and make ppl apologies all the time? Or is it only the liberals?
What compelled so many to dislike?
There is a point where hyperboles will eventually just negate every normal/good point you make if overused, you know.
I'm surprised the comments weren't disabled.
Big surprise a, 1-1.5 dislike ratio.
Powerful message.
I'm a 52 year old guy. One of 2 order takers at a high end Boating store. My counterpart is a 27 year old gal who looks like a young Sophia Loren. Our "boss" is the son of the owner - about my age, bald and overweight. He is constantly hitting on "Sophia" and criticizing me. "Sophia" answers about 2 calls a day and I'm on at least 15. "Sophia" constantly getting gifts, time off, etc. Who is the harassed one here?
Okay well he just has a crush on her so what,that doesn’t mean harassment doesn’t exist get over yourself
@@donniedarko7383 Oh god, the idiocy. I'm telling u harassment DOES EXIST, just not always in the simplistic format most think of.
Quit
thank you for sharing your story very brave
Great comment !! Let's connect.
just reading these comments proves that what she talks about is real and we need change
you should see the comments on flat earth videos, totally makes that argument true too😂😂
I’ve gotten from management…
What’s that thing on your face? (Then she laughed)
She asked why my hair is shaved (I lied about why because she doesn’t deserve to know the real answer as to why it’s none of her business and she shows that she’s an un trust worthy person and is immature.
Gossips
Has no empathy for customers
Been called sexy by a female co worker as I was changing my shirt (had a tank top on)
Recently another co worker said that the reason why I hurt my back is because I was in all these different positions with my boyfriend and also hanging on the chandelier. This is from a female co worker who’s apparently a so called Christian. 🤷♀️
I’m sitting here with no job. We just went through the sexual harassment training to and 2 of the woman didn’t learn anything from it. I told management but by then I was just done.
I also had a co worker bully me for mumbling. She would mumble back. Extremely immature people of no help to me.
It’s also truly pathetic when you try to open up and ask co workers about their life (they are able to talk about their own lives) but when it comes to me no one ever asks about mine nor do they care it’s truly truly sad. God is showing me who I am and who I want to be though and I really want to love people genuinely.
Wearing short skirts, and low cut tops doesn't help.
True that cuz wearing short skirts, skimpy tops dont help cuz its very provocative & it makes matters worse
Powerful!!!!
And feel free to educate women that they don't have the right to harass in the work place and we can all move forward as a productive society.
she is focusing on women in this video since about 98% of sexual harassment are done by men to women
Gaby Bustamante
False statistic due to definitions used...
The mind does not force the human,The fact about the instinctive physiological tendency of love, is not for force and violence.
God bless youtube for smartphones to have the x2 speed option
Preface: this is mostly intended to be a dialogue about marketing your ideas
I really don't think anything you can suggest will ever actually permanently remove any facet of evil from It seems much more like an awareness piece. Additionally I don't really subscribe to all of the rhetoric surrounding the common arguments surrounding risk assessment among a few other things you mentioned. (IE "asking for it"--not that anyone in their right mind would say that--but every time I hear that argument it's usually used in the context of late night strolls in sketchy areas) Although a great counterpoint is I don't get out much and live in a pretty liberal area, so my data set is pretty skewed towards reasonable/decent human beings.
Removing that clause would help errybody, it's not only a women's rights issue it's also a human rights issue.
I totally agree with the base message and I think the reason why you get the "Oh boy we're in for a ride" type messages are because you speak from a very pained place and may be read as accusatory or defensive. And, yeah, I know--no one read this.
Why is it that whenever women make their struggle public men are like "me too, hey? So don't say you are the only one suffering"? Why instead of complaining that she isn't including you bc chances are she got more mails from women bc more women are harrased, you take your time to make your struggle public too? It's like she did something wrong for not advocating for harassed men too. If men want to be heard speak up, but don't shame the women that don't speak for you every time they have the chance to speak for other women. Speak up and women will support you. Can you do the same?
"speak up and women will support you, now shut up while this woman speaks, how dare you say youre harassed too"
The title says it's about ending sexual harassment, impossible to do if you leave out entire groups of victims, and perpetrators.
+doesn't matter I don't see men saying "I was a victim, and I want people to recognize men can be sexually harassed too" I see men saying "So she thinks men can't be raped!!! Feminism is cancer!!!!111!!1!"
I don't want to detract from the point of the video, but listening to her when she puts passion in her voice feels like pulling teeth.
Perhaps when women stop using their 'sexuality' to get ahead in life, this would help stop men sometimes being inappropriate?!
It would be an interesting survey to ask women how many of them have done so and if they know any woman who has done so.
I am sorry that happened to you. as a side note; i did enjoy your show at fox news and was disappointed when you left.
This video has no solutions, I’m not hating just pointing it out
It's a clickbait
Talking about the issue and pointing stuff out is kind of a solution I think
I have the solution, gender segregation, men work in their own companies and women can work in their own companies, segregate bars, stores, public transportation, there problem fixed
Thats not a solution whatsoever..
Yaboku Last It is the only solution 😉
To quote the late, great Patrice O'Neal...

Even though he is being a bit raw at times he makes some good points.
Also, the few will always ruin it for the many. Much of what people propose (not necessarily from this video), unecessarily punishes the many men who have respect.
Thank you. Good night.
It’s honestly not as bad as the title sounds
Its significantly worse, she actually insinuated that our response to 9/11 was good and we should use it as a model to respond to sexual harassment in the work place. She literally wants to make the workplace as inhospitable, inefficient and violating as an airport is. She uses long debunked statistics and says we need to make a law, when there is already a law in existence.
No, it’s a lot worse
Forced arbitration clauses are not actually legal. They just try to intimidate people into not telling. Everytime an arbitraion clause regarding sexual harrasment comes up it loses in court.
The real problem is someone needs to sacrifice their reputation as the first whistleblower in order to help others speak up. Hopefully they have evidence, but they probably often don't. False allegations are made all the time, and sometimes ruin the lives of innocent people. And the secretive nature of real harassers and assaulters is part of what makes speaking up so difficult.
Gretchen did it right. Get them on tape!
1:2 like to dislike ratio, *OHH BOY!!!*
Buckle up for a ride!
Do you know that sexual harrasment happens to men as well not only woman
yes but she is focusing on women since it happens to women about 98% of the time. Also, to the men that get harassed it is usually done by other men so..
Gaby Bustamante thats not true almost 40 percent of sexual harrasment is woman groping men
Unfortunately sexual harassment happens to both genders, and people need to stop putting this double standard and work together to fix the problem. I have witnessed a man be sexually harassed, and I thought it was disgusting just as if it was done to a woman. Unfortunately it is even more unlikely for men fo come foward. Sexual misconduct will only stop like she said if we all get on the same page and fight it together. Men and women can help end rape culture in our society.
Mayra Macias true i agree with you however sadly this video does not focus on this we need talks focusing on all sides like you said not just one part of sexual misconduct and it will be easier to shut down the rape culture for both genders
Making inappropriate advances on someone is never okay, no matter the gender. However, she is talking about the magnitude of women that go through it, to the point where they could lose their job if they don’t comply. The stats show that most men don’t go through sexual harassment as much as women do. Men don’t feel like they have to be forced to do a sexual act in order to keep their job or get a promotion. A woman in charge would most likely never force a man’s head into her lap if he wanted to get the job. He would just get it based on merit. And that’s where the problem is.
People say this can happen vice versa, and it can! But this is a lady has seen opinions on this from other women, so that is what she touched upon. If u want to see a talk of sexual harassment with the boys are victims, touch upon the subject yourselves and stop whining.
YOU! STOP SCROLLING DOWN! YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE COMMENT SECTION! STEP BACK!
Someone commented call police case closed. Yah you said it. Many times I called police and the case was closed even before it had started. Most times police don't believe or just don't care.
There is likely so many dislikes because the title of the video is "how we can end sexual harassment in the workplace" when the first 10 minutes of the video is testimonials from a woman, who despite her many admirable achievements pats herself on the back about being all women's voice and is, quite frankly, a bad speaker
9.9/10 emotion 0.1 statistics, I rate 1/10 "too much repetitiveness" - ign
on other news girl talks about what she learned as a prisoner in north korea.
buckle up for this one you guys!
Keep it buckled guys and you'll be fine.

Most women their parents told them not to talk to strangers.think about that real hard for awhile.
Thank You, Gretchen Carlson, 4 such a beautiful and powerful speech. my hair on my arm stand up at the end. so damn true!
There is this creepy customer at my new job who is unemployed and about twice my age. And he SMELLS SO BAD. He comes in everyday about closing time and literally every day I work asks me what my schedule is and where I am working next. And IN MY PERSONAL SPACE. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I told my bosses and they say he's harmless he just doesn't have friends but if I feel threatened to come find them. He has called me beautiful, and to be honest I where a t shirt, sweatpants and no Makeup. Yeah I've delt wth creepy customers in my days many times. But apparently i found out this guy has asked the other two older women who work there their schedules over and over until he stops. MAYBE if this guy is so lonely and has no friends idk maybe you could at least shower and not hit on young women. Idk just an idea throwing it out there. So whats the moral of the story here ladies, if you want to get hit on by creepy petafiles, then just be a cashier!
As a progressive I can always listen to Gretchen Carlson, but never to Megan Kelly...I just cant do it
First we end sexual harrassment at work.
Then we end people wearing sleeves that aren't attached to the rest of their outfit.
WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, BASKETBALL PLAYERS.
I just want facts. Cut it with the emotional pandering
Emotions exist, and that is a fact. What are you doing to do about it? Demand we all pretend they don't matter?
There are facts in here. Men who harass follow predatory behavior. Women who come forward are not taken seriously, for all the excuses she mentioned. I don't think women should be automatically believed. Their cases must, however, be taken seriously. That is clearly not the case here
Enough IS Enough! Stop in NOW!
Ok, I support her cause, but it is outrageous how much she pleads to the emotions of the listeners.
Why wouldn't emotion be relevant in this topic? Appealing to emotion is only wrong in subjects where emotion is not a factor. Failure to empathise is part of the problem here.
Matthew Kossolapov Women only understand emotion.
I get it. No matter which side of the argument people in this comment section are on, I'm pretty sure all of them can agree on the fundamental concept of sexual harassment being a crime and something to be punished. However, people are disagreeing on how widespread of a issue it is. Some would say we've done everything we realistically can to prevent it and any events you do see are the uncontrollable/unpreventable outliers. Others argue from the stance of it's never been enough, big steps are required before things can even be close to being alright. That's my understanding of it at least. But to make a change or to be convincing you can't simply play the emotion card. Nor can you say that everyone who doesn't empathize for a stranger outside of their personal life is a sociopath/monster. Her experience and her emotions are an important part of her opinion, but if she wanted change she needed more than that.
Matthew Kossolapov She is emotional, because she was harassed many times, I think it's difficult to talk about issues that are very personal...
