James R. Doty, MD at #BIF9: Getting Our Evolution Right

About this video

In this powerful #BIF9 Summit talk, we are taken on a journey through the evolution of gender and sexuality. When the Dalai Lama told James Doty that he believes western women will save humanity, Doty was inspired to explore how this could be true. Doty shows that when feminists challenged institutional discrimination and stepped out of their traditional roles, it not only allowed men to flourish in new roles but advanced the evolution of humanity toward compassion.
