Was I discriminated against?

The head manager was actually alright. She was pretty cool. The rest, not so much.

Now that I think about I was once discriminated based upon my gender. I remember I was told to go to the basement (where the freezer was) and bring up some more burger patties. I asked why my co-worker (who was female) couldn't do it as she was standing there doing nothing and I was in the middle of some other task. i was told that she couldn't because she was a girl. To which I replied, "What?" "Yeah, if she were to lift heavy things, it would mess with her menstrual cycle." I swear to you that's exactly what one of the managers said to me, God's honest truth. 

I actually did the research later and found out that, no, it would NOT mess with her menstrual cycle. If she were to become a weightlifter or to generally lift heavy objects on a regular basis, then yeah, her menstrual cycle MIGHT become irregular, but no, lifting one 10-20 lb box of burger patties is not going to do a thing to her except get her off her lazy ass.
