1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: This is a Will and Woody podcast Ninni Wards. A

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: court in Sheffield has ruled that calling a man bald.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Is sexual harassment. No, I'm not junking.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Three judges overseeing the case, each suffering from hair loss,

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: concluded that using the word balld to describe someone is

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: a form of discrimination.

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: And look, mate, I couldn't agree more with them.

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: Hang on with discrimination maybe, but sexual sexual harassment, sexual harassment.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: Tony Fenn, who was fired from the British Bug Company

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: in May last year after nearly twenty four years in

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: the job, claimed that he was sexually harassed because people

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: were calling him bald.

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Sorry, that is ridiculous.

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: One particular judge suggested that calling a man bald is

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the same as remarking on the size of a woman's breasts.

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Oh, he's right off there. I think you all agree

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: that he's right off there and that judge is bald.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: Yet all three just obsurd So then, so what's so?

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Hang on?

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: So you can't call what's the precedent here?

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: Will I give you about it? It's all a bit

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: of fun. Give me a agreement. You talk about my

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: ratty legs is a bit of fun between mates.

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: So is there a serious precedent here, though.

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: Well they rule. They ruled that a sexual.

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: Harassment in more court, in like a serious court, so

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: in a serious.

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: Court, in an actual court.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: I think the argument here is, if you really want

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: to get down to it. They from what I can understand,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: they were saying that there is a connection between the

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: word bald and that being a characteristic which can only

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: be associated with one sex, which is true.

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: Hence it's sexism. That's what they said.

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 3: Women can go bald.

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: You're preaching to the quiet as a fall man.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm not on their team, but I would like to

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: defend the baldies right now.

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: Give it to me, Pete.

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a bald man doing his thing, isn't he?

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: He is real the pain he's here. He is bit balls,

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: a bald man miss some.

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: World wine, struggling, struggling against the weight of oppression, sexist

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: dogs targeting us baldies out there.

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Travolta also bald. He's very bald man. Hears a two pad.

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: But the point is I want to protect the baldies

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm feeling for the ballies. And if

00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: for my bald for my baldness, for your jokes on? Well,

161
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: you tell me, because he's sniggering at these people, I.

162
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: Thought, I think I still think it's quite funny amongst

163
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: friends to laugh at a bit of baldness.

164
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a giggle, right, I thought you'd

165
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: say that. Well, these guys thought that was harassment. I agree.

166
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: So security bringing security. It's a baldy. How dare you?

167
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: He's not a baldy? There's a security guard. Can I

168
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: finish the show?

169
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: No?

170
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Mate, he's you're a big guy, okay, don't open. Get

171
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: him out of here, Get him out of here. You're bald, bastard.

172
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: He's gone.

173
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I've just had him walked out by a bald security guard.

174
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: He's bang. I didn't know he was going to be

175
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: bored though that really he was. He was, and there

176
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: was nothing going on up there.

177
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: He was.

178
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: He had absolutely nothing up the top. It was dry

179
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: as the desert anyway. He was actually rattled.
