Even that is true sometimes; it reminds me of a funny story a few years back when I was a medical student. We had a group of 6 people all rotating in Ophthalmology those days. We had an old teacher who was so old that he could barely hold the ophthalmoscope (the instrument they check the eye with). Every day he would demonstrate eye examination to us. And whenver he would raise the scope in his hand, and shaking his hand (coz of age), we would know where his scope was going to land: eyes of Sidra (a pretty girl in the group). He never demonstrated it on anyone else. And we were like if this old guy can not help being discriminatory, what good may we expect of the other ones?
Sometimes, it is just our perception even. Once in an oral examiner, when I was the examiner, I gave the highest marks to a girl. By sheer chance, she was very good-looking (as her classmates thought), and then I came to know that the students thought I favored her for her looks. The fact is that I only based my judgement on her excellent performance during the exam.
Well, it is not always women who are discriminated against. There are many instances in which woman take undue advantage of their gender as well. It is a very complex phenomenon and only someone who can see the whole picture and small inclusions at the same time can someone grasp the idea.
The ideal world would be one in which men and women would be regarded as equal in terms of their rights and none would be discriminated against.
