Discussion
Which of the following is not an example of discrimination ?
Answer: B
The one that is not discrimination is asking a boy not to cry as boys don't cry.
Discrimination is acting on prejudice to treat people unequally, denying them opportunities or access that others have. Stopping someone from living in a neighbourhood, preventing a group from using a common well, and refusing to let them drink from the same cups as others all deny people something on the basis of who they are.
Telling a boy not to cry reflects a gender stereotype, a fixed idea of how boys should behave. It shapes behaviour but does not deny the boy any right or resource, which is why the key treats it as the exception.
