We all have them - hideous editions of classic literature that really do not match the wonders within. Today we are judging ugly books by their covers.

![Why we dont take teenage girls seriously [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xo-3xPpN7xU/hqdefault.jpg "Why we dont take teenage girls seriously [CC]
Why do we take men more seriously than girls, even when they say the same things? Last week, a short video by 16-year old Gracie Cunningham went viral after it was described by one Twitter user as the dumbest video Ive ever seen. But her words sounded very different when spoken by a British man in his thirties instead. Math isnt real. Sociolinguistics are. This video is about our perception of language and how that relates to gender.
