Default Discrimination among sexes in the Jainism.?

Why these Jain Muni shows a great respect towards women allowing each one them to be fully covered but is not the case when they think of themselves. Why do they expect from others to be dressed properly while the same time remaining completely naked even publicly. If this is the way they are getting more closely to Mahavira then why they have abandoned the women for this? Doesn?t they want them also to become close to their God Mahavira. OR The Mahavira has decided the different ways for different sex??? For reaching to Him.
Why the sadhus in Jain Dharma doesn't have the capability to attain Moksha.
But you will not find so much discrimination in any religion, other than Jain Religion wherein the Sadhvis are given respect but the minis go around naked and also the women devotees are not considered for Moksha.

This is a part of their religion. I don't think there is any discrimination here.

The Digambar Jains (the ones where the male sadhus must be naked) believe that women cannot achieve Misha in this life and must be reborn as a male sadhu in their next life.

The Swetambaras Jains (the ones where male sadhus and female sadhus wear a robe) believe that both sadhus and sadhus can enter Misha.

Yes, there is SOME discrimination among sexes in the Jainism Religion; BUT there is almost always some discrimination in just about any religion !
