| Everyone reading this please, please, please watch the video. It is ridiculously not what it seems. I read the comments here, and the FB post and after watching it in full context you get such a different perspective. And it is just as the lady on the panelist has said in her comment. The moderator is trying to simplify things for the audience. After introducing her he tries to create an analogy as to how to think about it and says: "I'm giving a very garbled caricature of it, you're the expect, why don't you tell us." Why would he use self-deprecating language if he was being sexist? He is openly saying that she could explain it better. He talks over her a few times, but he is in know way talking down to her, rather just trying to place everything in his overarching analogy which is the role of the moderator. To maintain a common thread running through the discussion. Then he reframes it again, and concedes: "I'm putting this in a provacative way. Please explain it to us properly." Again, he is even acknowledging when he feels he is being provocative. After the interruption: "That always happens to me...do I talk too much?" Which seems like he knows that he gets overly excited sometimes and talks to much. Seriously people! |
