I mean I can't imagine how bad it must be to be really ugly with a tiny penis. They have no access to vagina from a good looking woman, and yet their bodies testosterone constantly demands that they get vagina from a good looking woman. He will have no chance of getting certain jobs in a trendy clothing store or part of a sales team. They could possibly pay for access to sex but that would be illegal. So they're being discriminated against and the one thing they could do to stop it is actually prevented by several government laws.
Because "access to vagina" is not a human right. Because no one's rights should require another person to lose theirs. That man is not being subject to legal discrimination. In your definition, all dating is discrimination. If I break up with you because you are an insufferable idiot, have I discriminated against you? If I choose not to date a man because I am not attracted to men, have I discriminated? If you want to stretch colloquial meanings to wrench a point home, by all means go ahead. Just don't expect the rest of us to play along.
If you open a business, your agree to the laws that come with opening a business. Federally, in the United States, that comes with anti-discrimination laws--with good reason, considering our history. We Americans, despite calling ourselves a melting pot, love to make people feel like outsiders, we love to base our prejudices in deep rooted stereotypes and act on them. So we have anti-discrimination laws.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
