I WAS ALMOST HURT BECAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION
A Wednesday wonderful morning and hope everyone is fine. It's another moment for engagement again and I am super excited to be part.
Here is my entry in response to the week 65 edition 2 of the hive learner's contest. Immediately I saw the theme, I didn't understood what it entails until I later read it again before fresh thoughts began to ooze out.
Before I proceed, I would like to make a definition.
DISCRIMINATION is an act of showing difference or unfair treatment of an individual based on certain factors which might be gender or ethnicity etc. Discrimination Is the act of indifference exhibits by an individual.
I have been disciminated on different occasions in the course of my life journey especially because of my sex as a male. In the country where I live especially the northern part, disciminates alot when it comes to some aspects that normally pissed me off most at times.
Recently, I went for an exams which was slated for early morning. When I got to the venue behold unprecedented multitudes were everywhere. When asked, the replied was all of us are for the same exams.
I patiently stood on the queue for hours later I noticed that most of the females were given access to the venue which made me to find out what the root cause might be. Hmmm there was a special line meant for all the females aside the males. I discovered that there lines moves faster and better than the male this paused a great challenge for me.
I thought all of us came for the same purpose and all of us are humans then what brought about this discrepancy again?why would the females have a separate line that moves faster than the male?
I was just forced to maintain law and order as I spent uncountable hours standing. I wasn't happy at all with the entire process.
I had to be more tolerant, patient, persevere before I was considered.
Tips on how to curtail discrimination
- Be yourself and believe that you are also created by God who created others alike. Never you look down on yourself for any reason.
- Stay focused. This is a vital tool to combat discrimination because it comes to deter one from not looking at the normal.
- Don't live in isolation this will increase the rate of discrimination which could easily lead to stress, fatigue and possibly death. In fact most emotional in balance experience today is attributed to discrimination.
- I think one of the ways to overcome discrimination too is to change the mindset. Everything emanate from the mind and so when the mind is worked upon, certainly it will radiate to other areas of the body.
Lessons
No matter how a situation is I believe there's always a way out and lessons to be deduced.
- Sometimes discrimination is not to cause but rather to increase efficiency like from what I shared. The organisation tend to simplify their work by having varied queue to accommodate both sexes.
- I have learnt to be patient with every process in life.
- I have learnt to be positive over everything to reduce the rate of high blood pressure.

Discrimination has always been a bad experience, and nobody wants it. The tips and lessons, as mentioned by you are noted. I hope you excelled in the exams? Best wishes.
Thanks for the input
Discrimination in genders is very common and I am surprised how things are done without doing them equally. We all should be entitled to equal rights and not think because someone is different, they won´t be good at it. I have heard many times where they say there are things meant for guys to do and because of that girls shouldn´t be made to do them. But I think girls should be tried too to test their strengths and not come to a conclusion they cannot.
You said it all
Discrimination is not uncommon in our race and society. We are enjoined to be understanding of other genders disposition
We all talk about skin discrimination. ... Why can't whites accept us for who we are and treat us equally. We as negros discriminate against each other, thinking it's only when it's done by a white man that makes it counts as discrimination.
I hope someday our nation would treat everyone fairly and equally.
I wonder why this is happening in this country is it that those people discriminating want something from those women? I guess that is the case if not we all are human and we have equal right
Most people also forget that men are made of flesh and blood too and need attention just like women, allowing you guys wait for a long time in the line was so unfair.
Can imagine allowing more females to gain access than the man to the venue. It is simple, they could have just told people that males were not accepted instead of allowing them to come and be discriminated against.
You have a good point about handling discrimination, thanks for sharing.
Hahaha 😂. Women are with this special grace.
Thanks for sharing.
Sincerely yours
It's sometimes depressing when we are discriminated against..
You Learnt great lessons in your experience anyway
Yeah. You have spoken so well, one of which is not isolating oneself. No matter what people make one looks like, not letting their discrimination chase one out of their faces would give that individual to strive through unhurt. Let them be the one to get affected.
That feeling of being discriminated can be painful. I have been discriminated in so many occasions and I must say, I felt so bad but I didn't let it prevent me from being who I am. Thanks for this publication.
In my eyes discrimination just means to differentiate based on differences. By itself discrimination isn't bad as you said, sometimes it can make things go smoother and easier. For example: Let disabled people get on a plane first. It helps them and it makes things smoother for everyone else later on. However there is unfair discrimination which is ...well.... unfair.
In those instances I'm glad you learned the best way to deal with it.
Change your mindset. Relax. Try to be positive as much as possible.
Really enjoyed your post.
