I thought conflict of interest was more about personal gain, so I'm leaning towards discrimination, but I could be wrong.

This is a straightforward case of discrimination. The manager's biased treatment of the female employee based on her gender is unacceptable and clearly an ethical violation.

Discrimination is definitely the right answer here. The manager's rude behavior and low opinion of the employee's abilities, despite her competence, is a textbook example of gender discrimination in the workplace.

If the manager's behavior isn't discrimination, I don't know what is. Maybe they're just trying to become the next 'World's Rudest Boss' champion.

Conflict of interest? What, is the manager secretly dating the employee's rival or something? No, this is textbook discrimination, plain and simple.
