I've lost probably 45% of hair, now have the "Friar Tuck" patch and have had people make jokes about how shiny it is, being a chrome dome and such.

Never bothered me. But then I usually ignored slights and then insults. It's more fun to watch them try and insult someone who doesn't care

I'm 36 now. My hairline has gone back since I was at least 22 per some old pics I recently saw. I tried to hang on to it for years before cutting it closer, and eventually going skinhead during the COVID lockdowns.

I'm not "sensitive" about it, but I would also be ticked if someone talked to me about my lack of hair in the workplace. It's just totally inappropriate.

What the article fails to mention is the other half of the phrase he was actually being called.

I'm guessing "bald" wasn't the issue

It falls in the same category as fat jokes and short jokes as far as I am concerned.

Pointing out physical traits of anyone, male or female, was taboo a while ago.

I shave mine voluntarily rather than the Friar Tuck. Not casting any aspersions, some are fonder of their hair than others. I'm in the latter category. A mess my whole life as far as I'm concerned so shaved weekly with the Pitbull (electric razor) and good riddance. I have a whole lot of don't-give-a-(whoop) going on, though, in my day-to-day. It's liberating, the 'not caring' thing.

I don't feel too terribly harassed, in the UK or otherwise, for voluntarily shaving my head. Hmm. It's a little too sensitive for me, we're well down the so-called slippery slope ('We' being the West).
