Aussie Barber facing human rights court for not cutting a young girl's hair

bigadz89 · 2018-04-09T08:28:26+00:00

In my opinion the mother, being a lawyer and therefore with some level of intellect, would have known that a barber shop is for men only and took her daughter into the shop purposely. Her agenda? To bring down the patriarchical institutions which don’t cater to both sexes. This is a prime example third wave feminists looking for discrimination that doesn’t exist.

ky_biker · 2018-04-09T09:09:33+00:00

This is absurd.

"A claim has been brought against Hunters Hill Barber Shop in the Federal Circuit Court for an alleged breach of the Sex Discrimination Act. The basis of the claim is that the barber shop refused to simply run the clippers through my daughter's undercut, because she was a girl.

"I indicated to him that I did not need him to style, cut or trim the rest of her hair, which is styled in a 'bob'.

This lady is just looking for ways to sue people. A bob is not a men's hair style. He probably doesn't even know what is considered the "undercut" of a bob. Why would he know? He cuts men's/boy's hair, not women's/girl's.

Disgusting that they don't name this troll to "protect the identity of the daughter". What about the barber's children? It's fine to run him through the mud.

Your daughter wasn't embarrassed lady, you're using her as a tool to sue. I don't believe her at all.

What a fucking dumb thing to whinge about. Poor guy, he looks so placid in the picture. Barbering doesn't exactly make you a lot of money and it's hard work, hope the guy makes it out alive.

And if he had cut her hair and didn't do it right, we would probably be sued for doing it on purpouse... Poor guy, and what a bitch... using her daughter to push her agenda...

Jesus_marley · 2018-04-09T11:03:16+00:00

If i walk into a shop asking for a service, and the shopkeeper tells me that they are not qualified to perform that service, I am not going to insist they do it.

If this guy is smart, he should offer to demonstrate for the court and then proceed to completely butcher the girls hair as proof that he was not qualified to perform the task being demanded of him. If the complainant wishes to pay for his training so that he can cut women and girls hair, then I'm sure there wouldn't be an issue. but until that happens, this woman needs to grow the fuck up...

The human right to force other people to work for you against their will?

What human right is that?

Why is this type of dumb shit hitting our shores? Suppose it’s why I live in Melbourne the and not Sydney.

kingNero1570 · 2018-04-09T13:51:59+00:00

This guy couldn't have won either way. Had he cut the girl's hair the mother would have found something wrong with it and sued him anyway. I hope they stick with this story, this guy need all the support he can get. As a woman, shit like this drove me away from this new "feminist" movement. It's not equal treatment they want. It's special treatment.

Lendari · 2018-04-09T11:26:03+00:00

Its amazing how entitled people are becoming when it comes to making other people do things for them. Why should anyone ever be obligated to cut your childs hair?

Whipit · 2018-04-09T14:09:00+00:00

Why does this article only show pictures of the man?

What's the woman's name? Where are the pictures of her?

So she just gets to anonymously sue and possibly ruin this hard working man's life?

And if he's not guilty does anything bad happen to the woman? Or does she just get to walk away from this in complete secrecy?

Using your child to act your unsubstantiated social agenda targeted at an unsuspecting innocent man. Fabulous parenting.

AcidJiles · 2018-04-09T11:55:13+00:00

My only point in this matter is whatever is applied here is applied equally. Either all barbers shops must now serve members of the other sex and have no ability to refuse service or the status quo will continue with barbers making decisions on who they serve genderwise dependent on their skills and ability.

Interestingly this would set a precedent that while barber shops could for example refuse service to someone of their suggested gender with a horrible quality hair that hasn't been washed or is filled with lice etc or they want a style the stylist is not familiar with they will be unable to ever refuse service to anyone of the opposite sex as it might lead to an equality claim even if it is due other legitimate reasons.

Third wave Feminism is a cancer.

Porkupine_Adams · 2018-04-09T11:32:40+00:00

So she assumed her daughter's gender?

Can we start a gofundme for his lawyer fees?

2018-04-09T14:19:32+00:00

It's fine for there to be a men's only or a women's only thing as long as it's not blatantly motivated by sexism. Men have different hair, different hair styles, different interests in products and company and atmosphere while they're getting their haircuts so it's perfectly okay to have a men's only barber. I hate SJW.

“I haven’t been able to sleep. My wife hasn’t been able to sleep. I don’t understand why someone would do something like this,” Mr Rahim said.

This woman is doing this because she's a lawyer and she wants to gain publicity, destroying this man's life in the process. As the article says there are 3 women's hair salons within a minute's walk of his barbershop, this is the equivalent of the gay couple that tried to demand a cake at the only baker's in the city that is proudly and publicly religious. They had other options and they did it to create controversy and create this case, absolutely disgusting.

M8753 · 2018-04-09T08:42:46+00:00

Do barbers serve women who have really short hair?

MrkPrchzzIII · 2018-04-09T14:00:26+00:00

'Don't ever speak to me or my hair ever again! Got it?' Mother probably.

Meanwhile, still no human rights charges for cutting into a baby boy's penis.

Frijid · 2018-04-09T18:09:32+00:00

Why won't the gynecologist look at my dick???

gk3coloursred · 2018-04-09T14:29:15+00:00

If you're a barber with insurance against pissed off clients whom you are qualified to cut the hair of then you are likely uninsured in case of a mad bitch looking for a court case payment after insisting you do work you are not qualified to do. Surely this argument ought to be enough in a sane world?

LiNxRocker · 2018-04-09T16:39:21+00:00

I don’t know the laws in Australia but in Canada any private business owner can refuse to serve anyone, like my dad operates 3 McDonald’s restaurants and has removed many people from them over the last 8 years he’s been doing this, because they restaurants are private property the owners can remove anyone from the premises unless it’s like a cop with a warrant.

BruceCampbell123 · 2018-04-09T20:16:37+00:00

Women only spaces, not a problem. Men only spaces, THAT'S SEXIST!

undersight · 2018-04-10T01:02:09+00:00

I don't get the point of it. If this is an issue then womens only gyms are an issue too.

NoxHexaDraconis · 2018-04-09T13:32:05+00:00

Wants to get rid of specialty hair cutting establishments tailored for men does she? Let's nuke all the female oriented establishments for hair, and take out the nail salons, undergarment specialty stores, not to mention fine jewelry establishments while were at it.

DontThrowSoCloseToMe · 2018-04-09T16:12:22+00:00

I'm female. This is so dumb. Great Clips would probably do a better job than a barber who has only ever cut men's hair. It's totally different.

jeff_the_nurse · 2018-04-09T12:25:10+00:00

If he loses, men should sue every single women’s shelter in Australia.

He should have said he doesn't serve lawyers instead, easier case to win.

He needs to claim that his barber shop is a safe space where men are to be found in compromising positions that are gender sensitive.

Isn’t that how it’s done - we declare a ‘safe space’ and suddenly discrimination is permitted?

Bigpappapunk · 2018-04-09T16:58:37+00:00

So are all traditional Barber Shops considered men only? Robs Chop Shop in Dallas was my first intro to a barber who had a no girl policy and he’s very strict on the rule. He reminds you of the rule when you call for an appointment and again before your appointment. Just assumed he had girl issues....

Dope barber and shop though for anyone in Dallas. The shop literally has 1 chair and 1 employee, which is Rob.

This has the stench of an islamophobic hate crime against the barber.

KingRobotPrince · 2018-04-09T19:13:47+00:00

I did not need him to style, cut or trim the rest of her hair,

Anyone who's even watched someone have their hair cut knows that's not a sensible request.

If you haven't this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0kGW0zL7I shows that with an undercut bob.

Notice how all the hair is pinned up all the way before making the undercut, a barber simply doesn't need to know how to do that, that's a classic hairdressing technique. She's basically belittling the skill of hairdressers by assuming someone who only has barbering skills can do anything they can do.

You might as well sue a window-cleaner for refusing to remove your windows, clean them, and re-install them.

bearslikeapples · 2018-04-09T19:33:32+00:00

fucking cut it yourself. save money and stop fucking with people

bendalazzi · 2018-04-09T22:59:49+00:00

If she is telling the truth that he refused because his barber shop is for men only, and he loses, surely that would set a nasty precedent? We should all go in to women's gyms wanting membership.

human_not_robot · 2018-04-10T04:25:04+00:00

I've been refused service at a salon that specialised in women's hair - even though my hair was long at the time and the style I wanted was a unisex style that they explicitly advertised in their front window. I walked in, went to the front desk, they told me sorry, they only cut women's hair, I shrugged and went somewhere else. No big deal.

If only I'd been a lawyer, maybe I could've got a nice payout for the harm that it caused me when I was discriminated against and forced to walk 100 metres to a different hairdresser down the street.

2018-04-10T07:26:08+00:00

Been checking this story on facebook and people are almost entirely in support of this man, and calling this out as ridiculous. It's good to see.

NathanRav · 2018-04-10T10:37:44+00:00

Hands up, who here has a normal wife? I do. Where the actual fuck. Did these women go wrong? I don't understand.

the_unseen_one · 2018-04-09T15:17:12+00:00

But, barbershops are for men. Would a barber even know how to cut and style a woman's hair when they are trained exclusively to work on men? Unless she was going in to have her beard trimmed and get a wicked fade, this is utterly fucking retarded.

2018-04-09T16:37:12+00:00

The "Human Rights Court" should really be called "The Whingers Court of Hurt Fee Fee's". And sadly, the bar that's set for plaintiffs in the court of hurt fee fee's is incredibly low. I have no confidence that this guy would win even though the reason for the complaint in the first place is laughably absurd. The woman who complained is pure trash looking for a reason to take offence.

Xale8 · 2018-04-09T10:27:44+00:00

Dear God.

Barbering is about cutting hair SHORT. It's very detail oriented, and a specific skill and hours and hours of training in making sure hair is tapered from anywhere from skin to a half inch.

Hairdressing works in layers. It's a different skill set to know how the hair is going to lie and to cut it in ways that it will hang the right way. It isn't just a case of "take every hair and make it an inch shorter". In either barbering or hairdressing.

This is like walking up to a carpenter and saying "could you take that screwdriver of yours and repair my carburetor?"

Don't go to a hairdresser if you have short hair, don't go to a barber if you have long hair.

I cut women's hair all the time, but it's ONLY if and when they have very short hair. And this is key.... because...

But that being said, before you get out the pitchforks and torches, there's something very important here:

"he basis of the claim is that the barber shop refused to simply run the clippers through my daughter's undercut, because she was a girl. "

Whoops.

What he was asked to do was not even remotely touch the "hairdressered" part of the girl's haircut, but to wet and comb the long hair out of the way, and use clippers on the undercut parts of her hair. That he absolutely could have done with his skill set. This refusal was unreasonable and she does have a case I'm afraid.
