Dare to be feminine for gut's sake! | Kaouthar Darmoni | TEDxEde 

"Don't push with your elbows to make a career, push with your hips!" I love her!

Proudly taking back my femininity.

Loved it!!! Brought tears to my eyes. I didn't consciously realize that I have been repressing my femininity. I know it's a kind of defense, not showing femininity. I embrace it now, I am physically strong, very intelligent, and now I can fearlessly embrace my natural femininity!!!

Men try to mock us by saying we are too emotional...for me that's a compliment ...who would i be if i did not bring the emotion

One important things she said is that women are scared to be seen as lust object wich is true because i always think of a strong lady in entreprise as someone who is wearing suit and being masculine true we have a lot to think about

I know this seems crazy judging by the high proportion of dislikes in this video. This is energetic bodily embodiment and honing of energies that you can only understand with consistent practice. I request you to have an open mind and not discard things you don't understand due to lack of experience.

I'm an American woman and I think she's very much correct. We may not have to cover our hair, but here the veil has been internal. And it's just as effective. I've felt discouragement of my natural femininity since I was a child. I've never been able to be proud to be a woman. I have large breasts but when I tried to shake like this woman in the video, I realized how constricting my bra is because I'm ashamed when my boobs bounce in public.

When I did the dance a spiritual shift occurred. I cried. It felt like a breakthrough

This woman is so vibrant. She radiates femininity and energy ♡ I never really understood why movement and motion, especially in women is so important. Being a woman is like being a river; when you are stagnant you invite disease and sickness and death. When you are moving, rushing, gushing you invite life, healing, and fertility. I especially loved when she said not to push people out of your way eith your elbows like a man, but to use your hips! Something about it resonated with me

Her saying no toward the end while remaining in the feminine made me so emotional. We have so much power.

It's a huge bummer that people are too self conscious to actively participate.

I love this woman.

Shout out to this wonderfully charismatic lady for being an independent legend

Yes, yes, yes! I have always said this: the world is in need of more FEMININE energy, not women behaving like men!

This is the seventh time I am listening to her.

The display of femininity was so powerful that honestly, it was hard not to stop and stare in awe. The audience was supposed to be dancing, but you can see that they couldn't get themselves to even take their eyes off of this powerful creation embracing her natural element. I am so happy to have come across such an inspiring woman as a young lady. I will from now on push aggressively with my hips.

This talk is great. There is deeper truth here. There is still a lot of progress to be made for both men and women. Part of what she is saying is that some things have to be understood experientially. Hence the dancing. The more hurt someone is, the more they have to react to this kind of thing as if it were an attack ... Whether that's by as strong as a physical lashing out or just as symbolic as writing in all caps :) the masculine and feminine are both beautiful and sacred energies. When we stop hurting each other and start to appreciate, it is going to be really amazing.

I can't believe how stiff everyone was in the audience. Shake dammit!

I love my feminity and I embrace it but how to be feminine in a world where men stare at you, make inappropriate comments, touch you or intimidate you? I feel vulnerable when I get all kinds of unwanted attention, due to the fact men can't contain themselves. This video made me realise how much I've been hiding my feminity because of this.

Haha! I loved this! Best belly dance teaching ever! The most interesting, intelligent and funniest TEDx Talk I've seen so far
