Prohibiting off-topic communication is also

Making generalizations about what women are like and how it's

not).
If you take the literal meaning of discrimination (telling things
apart), then yes. If you take the more common meaning of
discrimination as prejudiced behaviour, then no. Men and women are
different, that's a simple statement of fact, it isn't prejudiced in
any way.
