Oh my god, what a horrible talk. 12 minutes of mindless storytelling. Allow me to summarize for those of you who don't feel like torture:

"Bias is everywhere. The feminine is less valued than the masculine. We need to make the world more vaginalike."

I was half expecting her to pull out crystals and start meditating at the end.

The video isn't worth your time.

The TL;DW is:

She spends essentially the whole time claiming that society values women less than men based on the one observation that since people tend to value things that are worth money (and apparently we don't value anything else at all, on either a personal or societal scale), and since men and prototypically masculine behaviors have the tendency to make more money, we must therefore value men and masculinity more and women and femininity less. At the end she talks about the virtues of femininity, such as the ability of the feminine to get us in touch with the spirit of the earth and have living experiences.

She goes from a poorly reasoned and childishly myopic argument into complete insanity.

Weirdly cult-like religious bias.

Funny, Billy Graham is never invited to give TED talks.
