    I think people don't realize now women are doing sport, working out..They always think to be in the 50s. Maybe they don't even imagine athletic looking maybe a new standard of the 21th century for women. (i don't say "muscular" just athletic)

    On an intellectual level, the dictionary definition of discrimination (the ability to choose based on criteria) is a good thing.  It's differential treatment based on that which is bad.

    I guess you're right. I'm not just as aware with semantics as you Native speakers and I'm a bit lost with words which I guess is natural since English is my third language and I don't use it in everyday life. And I'm lazy since I don't proofread or check my texts.

    Poor choice of words in short. But I trust yotu got the point anyway.

    Actually, almost everyone uses it wrongly, even if they are native English speakers, so don't worry.
