Gender Walks 

Important to understand that the masculine and feminine gaits differ from each other because of their respective skeletal structure, specifically the shape of the hips, the legs, the feet, the shoulders and the arms. That's the reason men have to work quite hard to give the impression of a feminine gait and obviously by contrast women have to work quite hard to give the impression of a masculine gait, both to varying levels of success.

Can't believe this man is still replying comments 8yrs later!

I'm transitioning from male to female and this was super informative and useful. Thank you!

It's been 8 years and I only found this now💀 Im angry but thankful and the same time I wish I found this sooner 😩 I extremely needed this! 😭

I am working on shoes to check force or stress distribution in male and female while they wall using FSR sensor.Thanks a lot for your video.

I played gta and immediately when you talked about gta I thought of it!! amazing reference. I'm glad that the narrator plays gta v as well

I think it’s interesting to note that an extreme male gait looks Frankenstein-like. Maybe that’s why it’s a “scary” walk, because it’s ultra masculine and therefore perceived as aggressive.

Trans guy who's at least trying to emotionally and semi-socially transition. This is great, thanks so much

Seeing this video now compared to where I was in my life when I was first shown it, I feel... conflicted. On the one hand, when I was shown this video during my college animation course, it affected me in a way far beyond what was intended by either you or the instructor, the effects being completely unrelated to my studies. I saw the "female walk" and, still believing myself to be a woman at the time, began to unconsciously dwell on the swaying of my own wide hips in a way that, in my mind, marked me as someone whose nature was expected to be "sexy" or at least make an attempt at such, something I very much did not want for my own reasons and could not achieve to unrealistic conventional standards due to being fat. It made me so, so self-conscious as I tried desperately to androgynize my *walk* of all things in whatever way I could, as society (portrayed by media anyway) seemed to say that a woman's swaying hips was inherently sexual regardless of whether or not she had any intent to seduce anyone watching, and I wanted no part in that. To be frank, I'm surprised it wasn't this that led me to realize I wasn't a woman and instead it was my growing tendency to create gender-ambiguous characters that I would then grow ridiculously attached to. (Being shown the masculine character with his uncomfortably enlarged bulge in a time where I still hadn't been able to properly unpack my asexuality and related sense of sex repulsion from growing up in and around a general culture of sex-negativity at large certainly didn't help matters either. Seriously, even as an intentional artistic exaggeration that looks painful, I certainly do not envy anyone with that set of equipment if that in any way reflects a small portion of their reality. I'll still give a hell yeah to everyone who has those bits and is happy with them, I'm just glad I don't.) So when I came across this video on my own browsing, I was fully prepared to come here with a sarcastic comment "thanking" you for unknowingly and indirectly contributing to one of many parts that made up my three years under a dark cloud of despair. And yet I read the comments already here, at least ten years and a technically-unrelated nonbinary awakening later, and at least two binary trans people have come across this and explained how they've benefited greatly from watching this decidedly-not-trans-related video and how this has genuinely helped them to more easily socially transition. I can't bring myself to truly spew the full force of my decade-old bitterness at something that has helped people in real life feel more like their true selves. But at the same time, I can't fully remove this video and its effects on my mental state during that time in my life from one another, even if I have been able to make strides in recovering from that mentally and physically unhealthy period of my life. Life is complicated, I guess.

Trans guy here! I was looking up how to present myself more masculinely and this was super helpful! Thank you!

This makes total sense with the male torso movement and hips for women, it correlates to the center of gravity along with the angles of the femurs

I've seen the opening image before in another lecture, with animated examples, and then the roles reversed. I can't find the video for that though, does anyone have a source?

It would’ve been nice if you had real people walking and comparing them side-by-side. But thank you for the video.

I'm a guy but walking like a woman seems more fluid and pleasurable 🤔

I tend to walk more like a woman and it’s made me extremely self conscious

This is actually pretty cool

informative video

I think women walk with their legs closer together because of the sexual nature of guarding her sexuality And I think the male walking spacely is more of a natural implication of having large testicles and protruding extending sexuality

thanks Alex
