Sexism

Sexism

E.g. 1) A man complaining about a woman who drives her car too slowly:

"Woman, naturally! Can´t she go faster? She could have calmly managed it before the red light!"

E.g. 2) A woman applying for a job.

"So you are interested in this job, Mrs. Abc, aren´t?"

"Yes, I am."

"Do you have children?"

vs.

E.g. 3) A man being divorced and wishing to be allowed by the court to care of his child:

"The court decided in favour of mother."

E.g. 4) A man applying for a job (wishing to be a secretary):

"We are sorry, but the job is not available."

This is simply called male an female chauvinism. But when it comes to misogyny and misandry and other serious cases of intolerance towards the opposite sex, I would prefer the term discrimination. Discrimination which has actually no good reason and purpose to exist.
