Gender discrimination is discrimination against a person or group on the grounds of sex or gender identity. Socially, sexual differences have been used to justify societies in which one sex or the other has been restricted to significantly inferior and secondary roles. While there are non-physical differences between men and women (gender roles are learned, not genetic), unfair discrimination usually follows the gender stereotyping held by a society and is used to enforce the roles held by that society as acceptable.
