High Court rules calling a man bald is sexual harassment

Need to elaborate on this. They ruled that it’s ‘sex-based harassment’ not ‘sexual harassment’ which is a significant difference.

Essentially it’s a sexist remark and is targeted at men, but it is in no way a remark that is sexually provocative.

Finally, we were able to push through some BS for feminists to lose their minds over. I feel happy.

Komabeard · 2024-12-01T05:02:56+00:00

Woohoo I'm oppressed!

Tit for Tat, I guess. Feminists will get the taste of their own medicine.

It makes sense. Reverse gender.No women ever is called bald just because she trimmed hair completely. Well obviously there's disbelief in social media because of widespread misandry.

im a bald and thats something i dont realy care... but people more care about how high someone is .. that would be more a "sexaul harrasment" if you want to call it like that.

its more sexual humiliation in my eyes ...

also in that cause people just use other words .. like for other banned things.. Non hair person ... or other stuff

This is a direct consequence of the insane identity politics, whereby we can't just say anymore that something is toxic, insulting, indecent, offensive, inappropriate etc. but instead we must tie every injustice with some attribute of a class, and demonstrate how this injustice discriminates against that class. Insane.

Overall, I'm happy with that ruling because it's definitely not a good habit to refer to your adversary's visuals and features (also known as ad personam fallacy) instead of stating a logical and coherent argument against theirs. Don't comment on someone's body if you haven't been asked to do so.

I'm disheartened, tho, to hear the commonplace downplaying of men's problems by other men, as exemplified by the comments in the article:

But it seems silly to waste the court's time with things so small \ What's small for you might not be that small for everyone else.
I’m bald, I love being bald. I really feel for guys who struggle with it. \ That sounds like the dude's very empathetic; but if he is, he shouldn't have problems accepting that some don't like being called 'bald', and they don't need to change that aversion at all.
Darts players across the land rejoice. \ Coconut bonce, eggshell, cueball, lightbulb and slaphead......all that just from the Mrs. We demand justice lad. \ Again, what's silly and trivial for you, might be different for others.

I’m bald and the only thing that’s bad about it is sometimes my head gets cold.

I saw exactly 1.09441 square inches of a girls shoulder today, I immediately fell to my knees, as the rush of dopamine signaling my impending, earth shattering orgasm started making me moan loud enough to deafen EVERYONE in the immediate vicinity. What followed was a torrential downpour of every single sperm cell I ever had, or ever will produce shot out SO HARD that my dick was ripped apart by my Übernut, accelerating to 5% of the speed of light by the time it left my urethra. It vaporized the girl as it punched right through her, it barely slowed before cutting through a structural support beam in the school as if it were a nuclear powered angle grinder. the sheer weight of this historical nut, combined with the total destruction of everything in its path caused the school to collapse, and every female in the state of illinois became pregnant with my children.

But yet the UK still doesn’t legally recognise female-on-male rape….

Francis_Dollar_Hide · 2024-12-01T17:59:52+00:00

I'm bald, this is fucking pathetic.

Vellyan · 2024-12-01T16:30:47+00:00

This is not a win. This is falling down to the other side's level which makes things worse in the long run.

sarpa-salpa · 2024-12-02T10:03:10+00:00

Need to add the word “incel” too

Milk--and--honey · 2024-12-02T20:06:29+00:00

So in the UK men who were raped aren't legally recognized as rape victims

But calling them bald is sexual harassment? What if they're actually just bald lol.

NascentCave · 2024-12-01T17:29:58+00:00

Oh god, really? Calling someone bald? This sounds like an Onion article. The concept of sexual harassment has no meaning if calling someone bald counts. What a joke.

Capable-Mushroom99 · 2024-12-02T02:39:08+00:00

Now if she called it his solar sex panel that would be harassment.

AndreasDasos · 2024-12-01T08:30:43+00:00

That’s stupid.

And if that happens just once extremists of the Shulamith Firestone type will be able to point to it as an ‘example’ that destroys any claim of bias (regardless of the massive skew in numbers). Not helpful on that front either.

This shit shouldn’t happen at all. Of course it’s not sexual harassment, it’s just being rude.

Except it was less about being called "bald" and more about being called a "bald see you next tuesday" (presumably, I don't know many "c***" words worth sensoring, hence why I'm going with that one) which... Yeah, I'm not buying the sexual harassment angle, but it still definitely sounds like a toxic workplace full of harassment. But instead of focusing on the slurs and how that was harassment, they focused on the "bald" part because let's make guys who get called names sound ridiculous by omitting the slurs from the headlines and making him sound way too insecure about an innoffensive descriptive term for his lack of hair.

I speed read the article instead of just reading the misleading AF headline..

May the downvotes commence!!!

Academic research demonstrates pretty clearly that fathers and husbands are discriminated against in family court under existing laws

Rosenthal, M. B. (1995). Misrepresentation of Gender Bias in the 1989 Report of the Gender Bias Committee of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Breaking The Science.

Around 90% of cases are settled "out of court" but this happens against a backdrop where the father knows he stands on unequal legal footing

Existing research indicates that equal custody is beneficial to children, or at least not harmful compared to giving custody primarily to the mother

These laws provide the exact same clauses and protections for domestic abuse as existing laws
