In a surprising ruling, the UK High Court decided that calling a man “bald” could be classified as sexual harassment. Yes, you heard that right! This decision came after electrician Tony Finn claimed he was sexually harassed by his boss during a heated argument back in 2019. Apparently, being called a “stupid bald ‘C'” was a bit too much for Tony to handle after 24 years at the British Bung Company, where he was ultimately fired in 2021.
The three-person tribunal found that the comment “crossed a line,” rejecting the argument that it wasn’t sexist because, let’s face it, women can be bald too. They concluded that baldness is more common in men and thus inherently linked to sex. So, next time you see a shiny dome, remember: it might not just be a fashion choice; it could be grounds for a lawsuit!
