I've experienced Diversity many times, especially when it comes to gender. There was a time when I wanted to play volleyball in high school. It was Co-ed, but mostly guys played it because they thought they were better than the girls. When I asked if I can play, I heard the answer "No" all around. They thought I couldn't do it because I was a girl. But, at the end I proved to them that even girls are really good Athletes. This was "Gender Discrimination".

It's terrible being discriminated against, but it's wonderful proving the people that try to stick you with labels wrong. i've always been discriminated against in gym years ago because I was a 'girl.' lol.
Haha nice one......yea man our school had the same thing....but the teams were divided between girls and guys. I thought it was so much better this way we were able to prove to them that the fight is not going to be easy. At the end even if the girls lost, the guys would realize that it wasnt an easy game to win. Personally i came across the same situation in india when i wanted to play cricket it was as if i asked to commit a sin....hehe anywayz its all good. girls are just as good as guys.
discrimination is always faced by girls, never boys. i am very happy for you that you have actually showed the guys your ability. if it was me i would've just backed out.
woo! yea girl! i have had the same thing happen to me, i wanted to play intermeral rugby in high school but it was all guys and a couple of girls and i wanted to play but the guys had there comments so we argued for a while and we got to play, we got are asses kciked but we got to play!
In your case you faced discrimination due to gender. Good for you that you showed them that females can do anything. However, you also need to include what was the author's reason to write the story??
