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.
