Being feminine, I’m unlikely to succeed in the identical state of hairlessness as Stuart Heritage, however I do agree with him that “bald males are all over the place” (Dropping my hair made me depressing. Now I’m as bald as an egg, I couldn’t be happier, 16 April). I turned up at a web-based assembly not too long ago feeling self-conscious that my hair was nonetheless moist from my bathe. However then my very own audit confirmed that there have been extra bald males current than males with hair, so lots of them wouldn’t have the issue in any respect. And I used to be the one lady. So my preliminary concern that everybody would understand how late I had acquired up rapidly up to date to a fear that they’d suppose it was grease.
By the way, comparable analysis into job functions has in contrast likelihoods of success between in any other case equivalent female and male candidates and – guess what – males usually tend to get the job (though I presume it does rely upon the job).
Nonetheless, I don’t know if anybody has in contrast the choice between a bald man and a girl with moist hair … an necessary analysis query I really feel.
