If you look at advertising you'll see discrimination all the time. Daytime TV adverts showing 'useless men' and women rolling their eyes.

A good way to spot descrimination to to reverse the roles.

Just look at the way women are perceived, packaged, marketed, portrayed in the media, the demeaning way they are talked about by otherwise supposedly intelligent and enlighted males,(this forum itself is a case in point), and then tell me that misogyny and sexual discrimination has been eradicated, and that women are viewed as equals in our society. You can't.
Just judging by the way they are talked to, and about, on this forum alone, it is sad to see attitudes towards women over the past 50 years have hardly changed at all. Men pay lip service to sexual equality, that's all.
