So, I work at a childcare Center and every lunch hour I video chat my boyfriend with headphones on. People were complaining about it (sometimes I didn’t have headphones - which that is understandable -, but it is still a problem with my staff and they never came to me, they just went straight to the supervisor). Anyways, I tried going into different rooms, including in between the front doors (which I’ve done before and was never a problem then). Now my supervisor has told me that if I wanna talk to my boyfriend, I have to do it in the laundry room. Is this considered discrimination? I legit wanna know, I’m not tryna whine about my situation.

there has been a shift towards encouraging women to make the first move in dating and step into more traditionally male roles. This can be seen in the rise of apps like Bumble, where women are the ones who initiate conversations, and in the increasing acceptance of women asking men out on dates. Whether it is because of feminism or something else, i don't know.

It is not only with dating that women are encouraged to step into more traditionally masculine roles. This can be seen in the rise of women entering fields such as technology, finance, and engineering, which have historically been male-dominated.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Society views negatively men who step into traditionally feminine roles such as homemaking or men who enter traditionally feminine careers such as teaching. These men are usually seen as less masculine or even emasculated for not conforming to traditional gender roles and expectations. They may be subject to ridicule or discrimination, and may find it difficult to be taken seriously or respected in their chosen field. Doesn't this have negative effects? it can also prevent men from being full-time caretakers or homemakers, and prevent them from being involved in the upbringing of their children. Many men already think taking care of their child is "being on baby duty" or "babysitting".

Leah Dolan (CNN) reports that Miss France, the country's 101-year-old beauty pageant, is being sued by a feminist activist group and three unsuccessful applicants over alleged discriminatory entry requirements.

Discrimination against employees on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, family situation or genetic characteristics is considered unlawful in France. A 2021 application form for the national beauty pageant revealed candidates would not be considered if they were not at least 5-foot-5, or if they had ever been married or had children.

Further disqualifiers for potential contestants include wearing weaves or hair extensions, having tattoos and smoking. The application also asks for clothing size, and it requests that prospective beauty queens do not undergo any major physical changes after they are accepted into the competition. Failing to comply could land the contestant with a 5,000-euro ($5,822) fine, according to Miss France's terms and conditions.

In your view, is this sexist? Winners of the competition are said to be considered employees of the organization once they win.
