Bullying is bad. But name calling isn't automatically bullying, and commenting on any aspect of someone's appearance isn't automatically name-calling.
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.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostSounds a nicely impartial judgement.
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.
