SnailyBoy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No a bigot is someone that is intolerant of someone else because of the opinions they hold. A bigot is someone that is intolerant of someone because of the opinions they hold. You can usually tell when someone is intolerant from the language they use, verbally abusing someone because of the opinions they hold would be a sign of intolerance. That's spooky, don't you think?

Tomjames Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Men criticise women, correct, but women criticise women and women criticise men also. Its not exclusive to women to be criticised. Women do have the added bonus of being criticised by other women way more than men criticise each other, but that's hardly the fault of men. This idea that women being criticised is somehow evidence that women have it harder is purely the result of other women. Women criticise other women in a competitive way to undermine, usually serupticiously. IMHO women hold other women back as much as heterosexual men do. & then there's the feminazi's & the SJWs.

rogets Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well I'm shocked Can anyone explain why the need to mention what sex this person is? Surely a better or less offensive term for this (man without willy) would be person in a barber shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Because the ONLY reason he refused to serve her was because she was a woman. But when asked to state why he wouldn't cut her hair he didn't answer so the above does not apply as he didn't give a reason. If he had said "its because you are a woman" then he would be sexually discriminating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 But when asked to state why he wouldn't cut her hair he didn't answer so the above does not apply as he didn't give a reason. If he had said "its because you are a woman" then he would be sexually discriminating. Mr Pizza claimed he has not been present at the shop at the time but defended his shop’s policy of not serving women, claiming his staff preferred to cut men’s hair. Mr Pizza said: ‘The mistake she made was she walked into the wrong shop. It’s not discrimination. There’s a ladies’ hairdresser down the street. Try again.

milquetoast1 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Pharmacists provide a public service paid for in part by government, and the government should not be allowed to discriminate. Train companies get public money so same applies... So now you're retreating a bit. If a business receives money from the government then you would exclude them from your freedom to discriminate? You do realise that all businesses receive money from the government, so where are you going to draw the line? How much money does Boots receive from the Government that excludes them from being able to discriminate, compared to a barbers that may have a grant or a rates free period? What differentiates the highest paying bid train company in your head from any other business, it's certainly not public money as you think. One of my friends is a diabetic, he also conveniently for this example happens to be gay. We were out in the middle of nowhere on a walk when he unexpectedly went into hypoglycemic shock. He used to manage his diabetes very well, but this time did not. We managed to drag him to a small local shock, use their telephone, and I kid you not when I say his life was saved by the purchase of a Mars Bar. In your world the shopkeeper could say, "sorry I don't serve gays". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berberis Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 How much money does Boots receive from the Government that excludes them from being able to discriminate, compared to a barbers that may have a grant or a rates free period? A barber can also be using the VAT flat rate scheme which means they receive some of the VAT they charge. Hairdressing or other beauty treatment services have a rate of 13%.

the_bloke Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Is this a case of the barber refusing to cut hair because of the sex of the customer, or the barber refusing to cut hair because he isn't skilled to do so? It's not uncommon to hear women's hairdressers say they can't cut men's hair because they aren't able to do so to a standard they would be happy with. If certain haircuts are alike between men and women, then perhaps someone should investigate the racket that makes women's haircuts so expensive compared to those of men for the same style.
