Many people call people with short hair bald in casual conversation and joking. But do you know that calling a person bald proved costly when he got reprimanded from the court.
The case is from Britain, where a man working as an electrician lodged a complaint against his boss, who insulted him by calling him bald and fired him from the job. Everyone is surprised to know the decision given by the court.
The employee working as an electrician in the company claimed that he was a victim of exploitation. Because during the debate, Supervisor Jamie King called him a 'bald man'. The man filed a case against his boss in 2021 and went to court, after which the court said that calling him bald is not only an insult but also falls in the category of sexual harassment.
The court said that any criticism of men's lack of hair is like saying something about women's breasts. The man was bald so he was called bald, hence it is a case of sexual harassment.
The defense lawyer said that women also go bald, some due to illness and some intentionally. In such a situation, it is not appropriate to link it to gender, but the court rejected this claim of the defense lawyer.
