Dill: Sexism isn't really a problem in Australian schools. Our schools have bigger problems with racism and class divisions. I originally was going to cover a broad variety of discrimination, but the lecturer recommended that I should focus on one specific branch.
Sirell: :3 I'm open to discussion on any of the questions. I'm only seeking to broaden my own learning.

Pheyniex: Discrimination is discrimination based on difference. If you're ignorant to difference, how can it be discrimination? You can't be ignorant of aspects of life, there is always a positive or negative factor. To have rich people, you need poor. To have healthy people, there needs to be unhealthy people. If you are knowledgeable about who you are and what you *aren't*, you can't be ignorant.
