Sex discrimination still exists in 2917? Hard to believe but even some political leaders seem to be dancing lightly around the topic.
Here we are in 2017 still discriminating against certain genders. Hard to believe that anyone would even take notice of gender in this day and age.

Gender bias, cultural bias, skin colour, religious adherence, these are all facets of people. It makes them unique or different but it doesn’t make them inferior or superior. They are people as are you and me. We should all be treated equally, as human beings.
What do you think about a national political leader making a public stance which may show biases or prejudices?
