Ohwait, during the summer I sometimes work in safeguarding with the BBC, and I was told my application for a short post wouldn't be looked at because I missed that they wanted a female, but that was my fault for not reading the listing properly.

i don’t think i have

Depends what you mean by discrimination really.Institutionally or by individuals?

Everybody has I would think.People Dont generally dwell on it.

[ethanjames]

I don't like to think that I am oppressed or anything but mostly for my gender identity especially when I first started socially transitioning not as bad now but it still happens and I feel like **** afterwards

[armand.kay]

well I've had racial abuse hurled at me a few times and the whole gay thing has always been an issue to people

[user104658]

Yes by proximity (my youngest daughter has a disability), but I would say only mildly and infrequently to be fair.

I've also been discriminated against on here by people accusing me of Mansplaining which is extremely sexist, and also unfair, as I wouldn't have to constantly explain things (in a manly way or otherwise) if people weren't so gosh darned stupid .

"Mansplain" is like a stupid person's version of "patronise".

What does Mansplaining have to do with Harry Potter though. Except maybe Dumbledore was guilty of it...

But he was a double minority so he gets a pass. Double because he was a wizard, and also, black.

You really don’t like that word do you. It is on a par with ‘nagging’ (also extremely sexist as always directed at women) - I doubt there are many women who haven’t been accused of that by their partner/kids at some point.

Well if we’re counting individual discrimination rather than just institutional discrimination then yep many times.

Racial abuse(for being white),Sexually assaulted by women and a transexual,heterophobia(for being too straight),For hair colour as a youngun,probably more that i can’t think of.

Like i said earlier.Everybody experiences some kind of discrimination at certain points in life but we usually just forget and move on.

Or I should have just quoted this

Every woman on the forum has probably been discriminated against because they are women somewhere in life.

I've experienced ageism on this forum because some of you think I'm a granny, though never anywhere else so far in life and experienced sexism here.

absolutely but it is so prevalent it is just accepted as a norm, rather than discrimination

Yes but it's still discrimination, amusingly it's usually from those who think themselves paragons.

I genuinely feel like theres more anti-young typed posts on here
“No life experience”, “youre not a parent, you wouldnt know”, “votes left because they are young and dont understand the world” not to mention all of brillos rants about students.

Maybe its more of a you only see it when youre the target typed thing, but i cant think of many commonly used anti-elder phrases

Bashing(figuratively) the older generations is ‘progressive’ to some of the youf these days.

“Gammon”
“Brexit voting coffin dodgers” etc etc

Yup.

[ethanjames]

ok its this simple if you aren't a minority you wont understand what it feels like to be discriminated against so it is not ur place to say. I as a white person I cannot say what it feels like to be a poc as im not one myself yet I can say what it is like to be discriminated against for being trans and my gender identity and my sexual orientation which others who are cishet cant relate to. having privilege and not being discriminated against isn't a bad thing its just not ur story to tell.

You don’t have to be a minority to be discriminated against. Women are the most discriminated against all over the world - but they are hardly a minority. Have you even read the thread.

wasn't denying that white woman don't face discrimination but they don't face discrimination for being white but being a woman.
