Qualifications themselves are surely not discriminatory and to demand, advise or even just state personal preference on qualifications is - I believe - a personal right. Sexism refers to the discrimination of members of the opposite (Or other

) sex. Discrimination is "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people". To state statistical, physical, preferential or other such qualifications as a prerequisite for medicine is surely okay?
The grey area is when preference and harm/detriment (discrimination) clash. It is a battle of personal rights. As all actions or preferences have consequences - and anything could ultimately be construed as discriminatory to somebody somewhere - perhaps it is a case of if said harm/detriment is directly intended or a case of negligence. Opposite to that is the harm created by playing the sexism card to delay aid for certain people which is in itself "evil", as the article implies. Can anyone help me out with this?
