Calling a man bald counts as sexual harassment, UK judge rules

Guess I am going to have to be careful around my pastor in case this idea spreads to the United States. ;)

"Calling a man bald can now be classed as sexual harassment, a U.K. employment tribunal judge has ruled.

Three members of the tribunal who decided on the ruling, and alluded to their own experience of hair loss, said that baldness was more prevalent in men than women. Therefore, they argued that the use of the word “bald” as an insult related to a “protected characteristic of sex.”

The tribunal compared calling a man bald to commenting on the size of woman’s breasts, based on a 1995 case.

The ruling, published Wednesday, was made on a case where the insult was alleged to have been used against Tony Finn, while he worked as an electrician for the British Bung Manufacturing Company."

Well I guess I insult my Brother-In Law every time I call him Dr. Ballard and he has a full head of hair... Because Ballard in German means bald... But I and my two brothers have hereditary baldness... Calling me bald is a badge of distinction... Brother Glen:)

Like I tell others, bald headed men have the prefect chrome dome, the others God covered with hair...:Biggrin

I hear you loud and clear... Try living with a Woman who doesn't have the glory, she once had?... Brother Glen:(

1 Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

I know the pictures of Jesus show him having long hair, but would Jesus shame himself?

Greetings,

This is too funny and ridiculous for words, how the world is getting so "offended" at every turn, and taking this to the courts is beyond belief! But, hey that is was what the pride of man is all about.......and it is also found in the midst of "Christianity"....if you don't like it take it to the law courts or censor them!

It reminds me of a scripture:


1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1Co 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.


The Lord bless you.....
In His Love.....
