Forfeiting to a girl might be discrimination, but I don't think it's the same kind of discrimination as forfeiting against a black person. I'm having trouble formulating exactly WHY it isn't the same, though It's not the same. Girls wear t-shirts that have the slogan "Boys Are Stupid" on the front and people barely raise an eyebrow. Can you imagine if that T-shirt had a "[Insert Race Here] Are Stupid" slogan? Even better, can you imagine the uproar if there was a "Girls are Stupid" t-shirt?
