There was no discrimination here (at least from the male monks' side) and researching this or reading through the thread would have told you this. It was quite the opposite to discrimination and we know this because of the buddhist teachings of sunyata.

I completely understand why you would be upset if you only take information from one side of the story, but ignoring the other half and still being outraged is childish.
It doesn't matter what the monks intention was or was not, (for the last time) what they did by refusing to sit next to a woman is sexual discrimination. Calling people who don't share you opinions stupid is childish.
