Calling a man 'bald' is s3x harassment after employment tribunal compares it to commenting on a woman's breasts... as electrician called 'bald c***' by supervisor is set to win compensation for having 'dignity violated'


Calling a man 'bald' is sex harassment, an employment tribunal has ruled after an employee complained about being called a 'bald c***'. 


Tony Finn had worked for the West Yorkshire-based British Bung Company for almost 24 years when he was fired in May last year.



He took them to the tribunal claiming, among other things, that he had been the victim of sex harassment following an incident with factory supervisor Jamie King.

Mr Finn alleged that during a shop floor row that almost erupted in violence in July 2019, Mr King had referred to him as a 'bald c***'.

Hair loss is much more prevalent among men than women so using it to describe someone is a form of discrimination, a judge found.

I painfully refilled my 12.5KG gas cylinder yesterday with N9,000 and I'm wondering where we're headed. Maybe cooking gas should now be themed a luxury commodity which only the rich in Nigeria can afford.
Average earners like us, how we wan take cope?
Any tips on cheaper and convinient improvisions please?

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��
