Boys Will Be Boys: Jacob Armstrong at Tedxyouth@Tynebridge

Trolls, lads and online porn dominate the perception and pressures of young men in our society. Women have, and continue to, engineer transformation of their identity, status, rights and opportunities, and yet these regressive trends put a spanner in the works and prevent progressing towards women's liberation and genuine equality. Jacob Armstrong seeks to examine these phenomena from a feminist perspective, and why we should consign the adage 'boys will be boys' to the recycling bin and revolutionise male sexual, social and domestic roles.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

[@rezaasslan1659]

Did you really just call online porn a "regressive" trend?
I'll tell you what is a regressive trend: trying to modify the culture and norms of 50% of the country because you don't like it.

[@callum7081]

But isn't that what you just did, you didn't like his opinion so tried to change it?

[@ashleyashleym2969]

+Hubert cumberdale No that's not at all what he just did, feminists make up less than 20% of the culture, men make up around 50%. He wants to change feminists, the feminists want to change men.

[@amethysttoast3642]

I don't know, it's pretty regressive

[@katherinem7360]

Ashley ASHLEYM feminists don’t want to change men, they want to make men and women equal. Nice try though ig lol
