Few more corrections : Aruna, you mentioned gender in the discussion. There is nothing sexist in what you posted. A sexist remark should be related to one of biological sex, clinical sex, brain sex, chromosomal sex, and other components of sex. Often they would be about biological sex. Gender discrimination: "Women don't make good police officers because they're too nice and nurturing, while men are dominant and powerful". Because it has all kinds of assumptions about cultural aspects. Sexual discrimination: "No one is allowed to be a police officer if they're on their period." Does your remark amount to gender discrimination? No, because you are merely describing the state of affairs. Debomitro's point ignores the conditioning of women in society. But you should have been more clear. This article should be helpful on some aspects that your remark relates to: http://text-relations.blogspot.dk/2013/03/the-young-girl-and-selfie.html Best A.
