The romanticisation of big men and small women | Louise Thomson | TEDxYouth@StGeorgesEdinburgh

Explore society's preference for the dynamic of big men and small women. Understand the social norms that perpetuate this cultural norm. Through careful analysis, Louise will examine how these ideals influence relationships and culture. Louise is a passionate and determined student whose talk will explore the expectations and ideals which women and men within society are expected to meet. Her aim is to challenge existing stereotypes to work towards dismantling the romanticisation of such toxic ideals for this generation and those which follow. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
