No, there are two word, discrimination and segregation. Men having a bathroom and women not (or vice versa) would be discrimination: one have bathroom, other don't. In having separate bathrooms men have a bathroom and women have a bathroom, no discrimination there.
- dragonwriter 13y agoSegregation on an axis requires discrimination on the same axis (if you don't make distinctions, you can't separate.)
- rimantas 13y agoTreating differently by "distinctions" is discrimination, not just making them. Otherwise the whole concept of gender is discriminatory.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> Treating differently by "distinctions" is discrimination, not just making them. Segregation is treating people differently by the axis on which segregation occurs.
