    Bullying bald people though seems acceptable and they are meant to take it as 'fun'

    And regardless, in the real world yes you should be able to "suck it up" if someone says something nasty to you. It's an important thing to be able to brush off such things, and a skill one can learn.
    If your idiot workmate calls you 'beanpole' you shouldn't descend into a shame-spiral.
    I don't agree at all there is zero need for anyone to say anything nasty based on shape, size, hair in this case etc., Brushing things off, in my experience, makes the comments acceptable.

    Although I'm far from the first to say it, I've long been convinced that the entire Fabric*nt persona must be a work of long-term performance art - and a fabulous one at that. I mean surely there is enough of a clue in the name?

    What part of "more likely" wasn't clear? It's like all those stupid online arguments "women aren't as strong as men" / "well let's see you compete against a professional female weightlifter"

    Presumably calling someone a "beanpole" is also sexual harassment because men are on average taller? What a waste of everyone's time. You can already take action on workplace discrimination without having to make it about gender.
