The problem is two wrongs is worse than one; you're never going to solve discrimination against one group by discriminating against another, for example.

What discrimination of which groups are we talking about?

Presumably it's a postulate, and applies in all reasonable cases. The generalization was given as an example of a larger truism.
To give a specific example: Solving discrimination against Maronites by instituting a system of power sharing which discriminated against Shiites and Druze set Lebanon up for failure. Can you think of an instance where reactionary counter-discrimination solved an issue long-term? Why be skeptical of the assertion of "two wrongs don't make a right"? It's generally observable in all cases that retributive "justice" simply creates resentment, deepens issues and erodes belief and trust in social institutions.

I believe the discussion was about men and women.

I guess I'm still unclear about the first part of my question then.

What discrimination of men and women?
I think we have to backtrack a bit here, what planet?
What, basically what we've expected of women for many years?
