Gender discrimination almost exists everywhere. The term gender discrimination is mostly used for females. At an early age, I thought that gender discrimination means that discrimination happened to female people just because of a female. But after growing up I was able to understand that gender discrimination is applicable to male and female equally. Most of us only talk about female gender discrimination and it is always highlighted all the time but very few people talk about gender discrimination in the case of males and people don't highlight it also.

I am showing a little, silly and funny example about gender discrimination. Suppose a female person posted on Facebook that her mood is not good. There you would find many people who ask why her mood is not good like many people concerned about her but if the same thing was posted by a male person you would find very few comments to ask the reason. That means male people are not getting enough concern from others just because of being male. The same thing happens in the case of getting likes, shares, and reading posts.
In my case, I don't care about Facebook likes, share, and being concerned about others but the discrimination is happening just because of male, isn't it?
In my life, in very few cases I became a victim of gender discrimination and those incidents are a little bit funny. Maybe I was lucky enough that the environment around me was very good whereas other people face several incidents because of gender discrimination.
In the time of Eid, we receive Eid salami (gift in cash馃槄) from our elders each year. We used to visit many of our relative's houses and they give us Eid salami. I have a sister and I am her elder brother. Each year most of my relatives give her more salami(gifts) compared to me. Suppose they give me 1$ as Eid salami and at the same time they give 1.5$ to my sister. So once I asked why they give her more than me and they replied that she is a girl. It was not a satisfying answer but I was never jealous of it. In fact, I feel happy about it and used to do kidding with my sister about it. So, It's discrimination which was funny and I don't have any problem with it.
Another discrimination occurred in my school when I was in class 9. After the exam time, our English teacher were showing us the English paper of the exam. I got 79 and only one number was needed to get A+. So I requested my teacher to give me one more number because it was a very much possible thing for the teacher. He straight forward said that no number could be increased. So, I missed A+ that time. After some time one of my female friends went to that teacher because she got 78 marks and requested to increase 2 marks.
In the beginning, the teacher straightly said that it was impossible but when my female friend insist a little more the teacher was convinced t
o give her more 2 marks. So she got A+ on that exam. And I missed just 1 mark which made me sad on that day. My logic is my female friend deserves A+ then, I also deserve it but it wasn't happen.
So in this case, gender discrimination occurred to me although it didn't make a huge impact on my life...
