Baldness classified as disability by court... but only for women

Current_Finding_4066 · 2026-01-29T11:21:12+00:00

I am not against tax break on items and services helping with baldness. But the sheer sexism pretending baldness doesn't severely affect men, only women , is mindboggling. These kinds of bastards really cannot get past their preconceptions.

How is that NOT SEXISM?!

Yeah UK is done, that's why many lads are leaving the UK right now.

I met at least 2 lads that won't be coming back to the UK for at least 5 years.

Listen. I understand losing your hair ca be traumatic… but a disability ? There are people who can’t walk, see, hear, speak….. my goodness

The nag of my life constantly says "look at how much hair is falling out", the hair on the floor suggests that Cousin IT is suffering from a rapid onset of alopecia.

I say look at my head that's caused from constant stress and stupid high cortisol in my blood - "nah that's your genetics"

What's good for the goose isnt good for the propaganda.

I mean a young man in his late teens early 20s losing hair would cause anxiety undoubtedly. I'm sure this can be extended to others , it's just the wig company fits women.

We are seeing this more and more laws and protections only for women when feminists bleat on about equal treatment.

Misandry misandry misandry. Men are the victims

We should just separate a world for women and a world for men at this point.

Possible another answer to the question: "Really what laws go against men but not women"

sptrstmenwpls · 2026-01-30T20:24:07+00:00

...the judges said: "We conclude that severe hair loss in women constitutes an impairment that adversely affects the ability to carry out everyday activities.

These activities include work, leisure, socialising, self-care and caring for others, activities which, at least to some degree, involve being visible to others in public.

This is not because hair loss physically prevents participation in such activities, but because of the distress that would ordinarily be experienced by a woman with severe hair loss if no steps were taken to conceal it.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Men are seriously not considered quite equally human in Britain. As if not every word this dingbat said doesn't also apply to men.

Men deserve equal access to that tax-break. At this rate & with all the other legislation of late in the UK, sooner or later they'll have us drinking from designated men's water-fountains.

Wow.

NorthWesternMonkey89 · 2026-01-30T08:31:52+00:00

More victim labels for women to push them up the progressive stack.

Losing one’s hair isn’t a disability and isn’t deserving of tax payer dollars. The UK economy is going to hell due to all their politically correct initiatives. Not long ago they were the strongest empire in the world. Soon they will be a third world nation.

Hair today. Gone tomorrow.

Of course it's the UK, seems like they want to make it female utopia over there

Lostyogi · 2026-01-29T11:06:52+00:00

I’m starting to thin a little🤔

I’m already legally a woman so I guess I should try for a pension🤔🤔

Hannyu · 2026-02-04T23:04:27+00:00

Disability? I can't wait until I can stop wasting money on razors for shaving this shit off. I hate how hair is treated like some kind of fucking holy grail.

Vegetable_Let7337 · 2026-02-26T02:41:48+00:00

idk about a disability but it definitely a bigger deal for a woman to lose her hair than a man (and yeah I’m a bald af man)

It's funny in a way that many women choose to remove hair to wear fake hair. It's level misandry.

You guys don’t understand the way law works and it shows. The company that brought the suit only makes wigs for women. That limits the scope of any rulings to… you guessed it.. WOMEN.

For a similar ruling for men, a company that makes toupees and services predominantly men would have to make a similar argument about the tax they have, and take it to court.

Also this was a court interpretation of a tax law related to a product. Legislation or executive decisions by department heads/panels are what decide what IS or ISNT legally a disability. This was a CORPORATE TAX CASE, NOT A PERSONAL DISABILITY CASE. No women are collecting DHS checks for alopecia as a result of this ruling.

Like fuck, are we just so generally butt hurt that we are looking for reasons to cast grievances over nothing? This is NOT how we changed things for the better for men. No one in the mainstream takes MRAs seriously because of stuff like this.

While I certainly wouldn't consider it a disability, since being bald doesn't stop you from otherwise functioning as a normal non-disabled person, I don't think this is something to be super mad about.

There is a reason baldness in men is specifically called, 'male pattern baldness'.

Men naturally go bald at an exponentially higher rate than women. That's not to say that there aren't some women that go bald, but it's almost never in the same way as men and almost always due to some other underlying condition.

It's exceedingly rare for women to have the same male pattern baldness.

There are biological differences between the sexes that require some things to be handled and/or categorized differently by society. Like men who develop breasts get special categorizations in the medical field compared to women as a comparative example.

I'm all for men's rights and pointing out societies double standards between the sexes, but this one isn't it, fellas.
