How do anti-discrimination laws apply to private schools?
Q. Obviously, it's OK to use reasonable discrimination: all boys and all girls schools, for example. I ask because I have a friend in Texas who attends a Catholic school. He is also gay, and recently told his parents. They begged him to tell no one at school, because he could be kicked out. Would it be illegal to kick him out? And if so, is there any form of unfair discrimination in private schools that is actually illegal?

A. While there have been many gains in terms of achieving gender equality, gender discrimination still exists in the Philippines, unfortunately. Women still do not have access to reproductive health services such as contraception and this is discrimination because women are the ones who are in most need of such services.

For me, this non-recognition is gender discrimination. Also, double standards of morality still exist in Philippine culture and for me, this is also gender discrimination. When women have casual sex, they are generally seen as promiscuous but men who have… [cont.]

Why do motorcyclists face discrimination on the road?
Q. We have car drivers who don't see a motorcycle merging in the land get hit. We have drivers taking turns in their cars hitting motorcyclists. Most motorcyclist injury/death or accidents are caused by careless drivers in their cars. Why do we motorcyclists face discrimination on the road and why can't people in cars learn to drive?

A. Motorcyclists do not face discrimination on the road. It is a known fact of life that cagers fail to notice bikers. Deal with it. If you can't deal with it then get off the bike and into a cage yourself!
