Justin Baldoni : Why I’m done trying to be “man enough”

TED 2017

Justin Baldoni : Why I’m done trying to be “man enough” (transcript)

Summary 

In our world, still, parents have taught their children to be brave boys and pretty girls somehow. 

And people think that it makes girls suffer. Thus, now there are a lot of stories that parents have to teach their children to be brave girls. 

However, people who are suffering aren't only girls but even men also. If a man was taught that men have to be a kindly better person, he'll be said that he isn't masculine by people, even by men but he can't tell his friends. 

It's not a bad thing for men to help another man, to be helped by men, to have something that a man can't do. 

Sharing shame or asking forgiveness is not wrong for men. 

Honestly, telling them and men are not always strong to women. 

When men will be helped by women, men can help women and people will be growing when people can cooperate with each other. 

Why he's done trying to be “man enough” is because he loves his family. 

This was the TED women thus all audiences would be women.
