Tony Porter: A call to men

At TEDWomen, activist and educator Tony Porter makes a call to men everywhere: Don't "act like a man." Telling powerful stories from his own life, he shows how this mentality, drummed into so many men and boys, can lead men to disrespect, mistreat and abuse women and each other. His solution: Break free of the "man box." Read about Tony Porter here.

About TED

Since 1984, the small non-profit TED has been on a mission to spread ideas. In addition to holding two annual conferences, in California and the UK, that unite thousands of people from the technology, entertainment, design, science and business sectors, TED also provides its thought-provoking content via an award-winning video site, TED.com.  Through interactive presentations and a library of over 700 talks, TED.com seeks to engage and inspire a global audience through a "clearinghouse" of "ideas worth spreading."  The common denominator amongst the TED community is a hunger for a deeper understand of the world, and a hope for a better future.
