Omg!!!! Pathetic! He is bald,it's a fact. Comments about a woman's breasts IS sexual harassment!

Don’t talk balderdash

This has to be one of the dumbest tweets on twitter since little handed T was ousted.

Asmongold

What the hell is a bung company? This story is full of holes.

BiggsGotBank Ain even gone tag him today 😂😂 he gone flame me

The logic here reads like the Monty Python witch trial.

the guy might just have been pointing out a fact that the other guy was infact bald and also a cu*t and was not trying to be mean

I know an entire species of eagle that aren’t going to be too pleased about this…

Amazing progress but we still need protection and welfare for men who are not tall

Good... about time something swung in favour of men

Estos son los derechos que llevo años reclamando

😳🙄

The Daily Mail patronisingly fishing for anti woke arseholes again I see. 😅👍

If this isn’t tongue in cheek then I fear how soft we are.

As a bald man, this is 100% bullshit. The only men 'hurt' by clear acknowledgement of reality are insecure weenies.

Have we changed the definition of sexual harassment because I'm struggling here

What about commenting on a Womans front-bottom...?

Britain be normal for 24 hours difficulty impossible

ThatBaldGamer I’M SORRY, OKAY? 😂

Shut the xxxx up us baldies don't care shame a hairy shampoo is killing the follicles 😔😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

maxandpaddyline 'Baldy Bouncer'

Call me bald. Why should I give a shit?

It's about time slapheads everywhere were shown a little respect.

We live in an incredibly stupid time.

At work I was told. All English people are lazy. Is that something to take offence at or laugh off?

No it isn’t 😂

imnotunderage

Isn't bald just an adjective? You are either bald or not. Balding is an interim state. Why is anyone bothered?

What are we becoming? mad

What about calling a woman bald? That's not any kind of harassment? 🙄

Might start putting nipples on my head then.

And calling a man 'bald fraud'?

Cool, I’ll stop every match next season when the crowd start harassing me.

The tribunal president must be BALD

I would have thought it was the equivalent to stating a woman's hair colour and wasn't sexual in any way

What about whistling the Kojak theme tune?

Jeepers, I've been harrassed almost on a daily basis for yonks. Now,I feel so violated. But before I read this I was just a regular fun loving slap-head. 🥸

Eh ? Anyone not offended anymore

GemaPuenteviejo

Interesting debate. Not so long ago a footballer was accused of racism for calling another player a black c**t. Each word used on it's own wouldn't raise an eyebrow, together they result in a court case.

agree with this. time to bring breast chat back to the workplace

Ridiculous

In that case then calling someone fat should be the same

Oh!! Dear.

ALURST What is sexual about the head/hair?

DKBarbarian we are fu.... Greetings your twitch chat

So we can call someone a cunt, but not a bald cunt. Is that right? What about fat cunt? That allowed? I need to know the most up to date language rules before I open my mouth. Thanks.

The kind of such cases shows deterioration of thinking in a society

sautisol 😂😂

Hehehe…i make sure all the sparsely hair is cleanly shaved 😃 But to b fair, you can laugh at my bald and i can laugh at runways or laugh at drooping papayas 😂

that's all they got? they've had the upper hand over women for like ever

The fck, aren't they bald? Then they should cover them, just like how breast are covered..its a private affair...

Savani_Mokaya mayar_dollin Small claim court issues au?

Some of you are just now realizing that laws apply to everyone in both protection and punishment, even if you intended them for or against a specific subset

Is he folically challenged? Or is that equally sex harassment? Are we now banned from mentioning it? Cos my colleague and i have bants all the time about him being bald and me being short, am i now sexually harassing him if i joke next time the sun is blinding me from his head?

Great news SteveFranklin3

?

Ya fuiste, luca_lcmc 😂

I should have got done for sexual harassment years ago then

TheKimutai LOL

Breast hair, Breast hair. No is the same.

😂😂😂

🧑‍🦲

Watch out. 'Wanker' is next. lol

Oh yeah, enough is enough

I guess they missed the whole Will Smith slap event...

I am bald. That is ridiculous. Get a grip people.

Wish Jim Smith was still around to say how it affected his mental state being known as “Bald Eagle”. We shall never know. Perhaps Wiki should delete the reference as it may offend some.

Oh

Big bald energy

Ya era hora de que visibilizaran el acoso que sufrimos…

Give me a fucking break 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Bald

StopCalbofobia

Is it though?

Western society is a joke

Last time I call my boss a bald tit head

Maybe the next word was part of the problem?

lmbo what

¡Ahora me las pagaréis, malditos! Na en serio, qué horror de sociedad estamos creando.

bienaimesol you've a missed call, Mr. Chairman 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

NoSoyLaGente 😂😂😂 Para mi, lo mejor del día.

oh suddenly I can’t tell Bruce I want to suck on his bald head anymore. Suddenly that’s sexual harassment

I find a Bald man very sexy 😊

jnounmccain bald bald bald

As an almost bald man let me assure you... This is false and incorrect

orelhagrc

Complete and utter bollocks🖕

LOL

Men have feelings too.

Is it fuck. Call me bald, I love it. You can even touch my head if ye like. But stay away from my nipples. Those are mine.

Shut up and grow some hair :)

...feel so too, because I have bald and Ihate when people try to touch me in that area, I consciously rebuke them, shouting 'its my private part!'

A lot of people owe me some cash

It's presented in the typically unhelpful way the Mail usually presents things, but on this occasion there is something a bit deeper at risk here. Many influential bodies want to make sex/gender a protected characteristic alongside race/sexual orientation etc. What it would 1/2

Yes I can see why. When I talk to a man with no hair, I really struggle to maintain eye contact. My eyes always wander to his scalp, desperately trying not to comment on how smooth it is.

So the mouth can tell what the eyes sees eii

What about Nipple Nut, is that o.k? Or Baldilocks?

Well he shouldn't have displayed his bald head, He's only got himself to blame. Next time he should cover up.

Hm ten Hag is trying to dodge bants next season.

A bald wrote this

I live in america, which is a nightmare constantly, but at least in not on shitty clown island

DanielHart44

If I ever got fired for calling a bald man , bald or referring to a woman as, a woman, I would get my moneys worth and get fired for a proper reason, like punching the stupid pratt in the face.

Why do i suspect there is more to this story than the headline?

bald people are real?

Asmongold

Looking forward to the EAT view on that lol

Being bald is a discapacity and all balds deserve our respect Yesterday, I helped a bald-man crossing the street. We all can do things to help them

What about a composite adjective, like 'bald prick'?

Well, if we do not like physical comments on ourselves. We should never do it to the other gender.

Sue is the new mauled by bears.

I could not believe My Eyes? I thought this was another Parody?The British Bung Company?I actually Googled them They😂😂😂 Exist?Are they different from the israeli bung?russian Bung? Companys! My boss was Once Called Brother Bung?He used to say Bung em a Few Bob to problems!😇😄

BALD is the issue and not the c*** bit?

Nuclear war is starting to look more appealing every day.

So calling my boss oh slap head or Buddha or watch out for the helicopter not allowed just have keep calling fatty instead

White do white blokes get such FOMO over horrible things like sexism and racism?

But was the folically challenged fella still a cunt though ? Sounds like it 🤣

Finally!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

maliks_88 uko lucky

No it isn't.

Yeah fair

OK baldy

Speaking as a bald man this is absolute bullshit.

domisatwit

Bald bald bald bald bald bald Bald is ugly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

HA

kwadwosheldon mrdrewofficial see something

First off, women can be bald too. Second, it could be harassment yes but not sexual harassment. People who are bald don’t have their heads censored or told to cover their head so it’s not equivalent to women’s breasts.

rguezcheca CC Oberhauser_71

He's not bothered about being called a c*nt, he's more concerned with the physical observation part of the insult?

Maafi dedo Sahil_Adhikaari

Oh hell yeah

steve_grocutt your not bald

whereisST_ I’m sorry bro

The amount of people in the quote tweets and comments who evidently didn’t bother to read the article just the click bait headline. The judgement is perfectly right and reasonable. READ THE DAMN ARTICLE.

On behalf of all bald men.. this is a stupid rule !!

I can only associate this to libs and cancel culture. They get offended over anything. I’m sure this will offend them also ….

Finally. A win for the chrome domes

His head looks like a tit

DCBMEP It's an absurd world when a court rules that bald is offensive but c*** isn't.

Martin_3vans

I’m not bald. I’m balding.

DailyMailUK Agree

the employment tribunal:

Consecutive life sentences just for calling a bald Englishman a bald English man, these days?

aww look at all the snowflakes melting because they aren't allowed to be mean to people.

Why have men become so weak?

😏

Whoever believe bald is not good, are the problem.

I'm bald, I disagree with this.

Scouse_ma 😂🤣😂🤣

Imma call him 'baldy' come arrest me rn

😂😂😂 FFS

🤣🤣🤣 Modern Western culture is every day a bigger joke.

Calling someone who is bald bald is verbalising fact and nothing more.

dirk1978 - You do have nice man boobs though

Mr. Pep got u breathing heavy localmanszn

chicobarney

I didn't call you baldy, baldy.

WTF?, yeah right

Holly shit!

The world has gone all out bat shit crazy!

C word less offensive then?

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

😭

😆😆😆😆😆😆

I blame Will Smith

FFS utter madness world gone CRAZY.

16m people in poverty but this is what's outraging this far right rag.

Get them to cover their head with a bra then.

It's political correctness gone mad!

Back in the day, common sense was used for what was an insult and what wasn’t.

Gingers Revolution is Upon Thee!!

I'm bald but everyone keeps commenting on my breasts. I'm confused

The government must legislate on this, I propose ‘a system of..,‘ead slapping’

He was definitely harassed in the workplace, but this is a ridiculous stretch of the imagination to call it sexual harassment. I guess everything is sexual harassment now…?

Hello. I'm bald. No it isn't.

What a load of rubbish. I'm half and don't care what people call me. People need to get a life

DailyMailUK cwt_news

Lol right wingers gurning again

What do SimonMiller316 and andyhmurray think about this? 😂

I didn’t call you baldy, baldy

I'm so glad we're no longer woke and offended a slightest thing.

andrewwatson38

'We find it to be inherently related to sex.' Not I, nor my friends have ever discussed a Gent’s bald head as being a thing of sexual stimulation and we’ve discussed sex a lot in our time. Wokeness is a social disease at this point in time.

Finally! I can barely walk down the street anymore without a woman ogling my voluptuous bald head 😡

😂😂😂😂 oh what a pathetic world we live in

Hahaha wtf. Idiots!

back_the_BBC Folliclely challenged?

A little discretion is in order, but comparing it to commenting on a woman boobs is nonsense

Saying a guy is bald is different to calling him a slap head every time he comes into a room or instead of his name.

What hard-boiled egg brought this to court?

😂😂 oh stop it already!

Bang goes the English language again.

Anvil_90 does the same apply to making fun of grey hair?

I’m going to keep this one handy 🤣

At least the guy got equal rights to a woman.

Baldy Slaphead to now become a slur

Money i save on haircuts and shampoos gets me several mini holiday breaks for me and the family

MILAN PELATONE

Da fuck? 😂 😂 😂

We are being micromanaged. In fact we can say nothing at all. There can be no democratic debates. We aren't allowed differences of opinion. What a lovely society.

WTF is wrong with this world like seriously…

Love that in the UK it’s the ‘bald’ portion of ‘bald c**t’ that’s problematic in the workplace 🤣

I see Pep is still moaning.

ManCity go and get your manager, I've got some sexual harassing to do.

I'm a baldy and I couldn't give a toss if someone calls me it! Who writes this utter garbage?

And somewhere in the news studio AndrewNBC12 Is rejoicing! 😂

Looks like a BS story to wind people up, being called a Bald C*** is very different, that is abuse, referring to someone as the bald one is not offensive, typical Mail stirring.

Have you considered the tendency towards political baldness among the UK professional managerial class?

Scouse_ma 😂😂😂

Get real 😂😂😂

Dear God help us 😱 ps LOVING the new show Piers

Unbelievable, right? But it's factual the man is bald! We live in times of emotional cripples- OCD pricks.

Don’t be ridiculous

I'm sure that Mr Fabricant will be very relieved at the result. (He also works for a 'Bung' Company - but of a different sort) I suppose we will all have to stop referring to Johnson's well endowed moobs now as it is sexually discriminating.

What a load of absolute crap

Yay I finally get my own permanently offended group to join!!! 😂

'The Tribunal therefore determines that by referring to the claimant as a 'bald c***'.Mr King's conduct was unwanted, it was a violation of the claimant's dignity, it created an intimidating environment for him, it was done for that purpose, and it related to the claimant's sex.'

I'm trying to think what is sexual about the top of your head but I'm drawing a blank. Am I doing something wrong?
