TEDxTT 2012: “Your Boyfriend Wants to be Pretty,” Nick Thornton.

Occasionally, and probably not often enough, young men are told to embrace their feminine side. But what does getting in touch with your “feminine side” actually mean? Here, Nick Thornton (@unboringlearn), a 4th year History major at the University of British Columbia, provides a thought provoking and entertaining look at this question.

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)
