I don’t think discrimination between men and women is a bad thing at all.  Perhaps you’re referring to the job market?  I have no problem with certain jobs being the preserve of women (nurses, teachers, whatever) and others of men (firemen, lawyers, soldiers…), whether that’s determined by physical/psychological attributes or done on  a purely arbitrary basis.  I think our psychological make-up as primates demands such clear-cut distinctions.   

Much as I hate to agree with Herbert Marcuse (who applauded suppression of free speech), in modern society people are encouraged to do unnecessary work so they can buy unnecessary luxuries (thus furthe enriching the powerful).  Instead of “liberating” women so they can work 40+ hours a week in exciting places like assembly lines and Wal-Mart tills, what if they could actually raise their children (rather than dumping them off at day-care or state-run schools)?   No one says on their death bed, ‘I wish I’d spent more time flipping burgers.’
