PERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION IN TURKEY As such, we can assume that we have two different understandings and attitudes toward discrimination. The first indicates a sensitivity towards discrimination based on belonging, thus has more political/cultural aspects; the other reveals a sensitivity to the types of discrimination that are not included in the lines of natural and political conflict. Sensitivity to gender-based discrimination can be found within both groups. Some people consider gender as a difference that exists in nature and should not lead any discrimination. For some, gender-based discrimination is political and opposing it appears to be a political attitude. 29
