Bald Wingman (Rogaine ad)

[tipsfedora]

Yes yes because black people in America still aren't experiencing racism today- because police still aren't discriminating against people of colour to this day- please don't be so ignorant and narrow minded. I'm actually leaving these forums it's full of sick and twisted people, yeah baldness sucks but some of you guys have turned it into something else Jesus. I even read the other day someone would rather have cancer than baldness because they get more sympathy.. wtf. I sincerely hope some of you guys get the help you deserve because your problems delve a lot deeper than shrunk follicles.

You do not understand. What I implied here is that discriminating someone on certain genetic features that do not in any way affect your abilities in this world is same as implicating that a person of black skin is somehow inherently stupid, dumb etc. Which is not. That is basically discrimination. If you discriminate someone based on his skin color, you will end up in jail. If you mock him , same. And thats how things should be.

But please, if you haven't lived in a community that mocks you for balding at young age and being isolated from a group because of that, you have no right to tell people they are mentally sick. You are putting a salt on an open wound.


You are also using a really absurd comparation with cancer. What about fat people ? Why don't you go and tell all your fat friends to shut up about fat discrimination since some people have cancer ?

Also there is a study which concluded that cancer patients were mostly distressed because of their HAIR LOSS. It was THE MOST DISTURBING PART of whole process.




You also forgot that most of the presidents of USA were full haired. If you aren't aware of the HALO EFFECT and how deeply can it affect you in your career goals, you are done for.

You also forgot that some people here don't have racism since , you know, we aren't USA and so we aren't mixed. On some playgrounds, everyone was a slave, not just blacks.






I would like to see someone explain me ( in a logical way ), how isn't this Ad simmilar to racism ( discriminatory ) and how come this simmilar to TODAYS ( AS OF SEPTEMBER 2015) racism ( as in discrimination by physical feautures )

I agree it sucks. From my own experience balding at age 19 during full time university studies. Being in Australia I couldn't afford minox and fin since it was around $120 a month. I wanted to get through my university years with hair at any cost so I got a part-time job at a shitty call centre just to pay for these meds. The results were mediocre with bad sides but got me through to 23 at norwood 3. During this time I avoided all social university events.

After studies the job hunting process begins right? I managed to get through to the face-face interview stage of 6 graduate positions after going through the painful online application process and phone interviews. 2/6 of the hiring managers mentioned I look much older for my age. Anyway I didn't get any of these positions so I settled for a blue collar job somewhat related to my degree. Was my failure in getting these positions related to my peoples skills? I doubt it but who knows? Or maybe they wanted a graduate that fits the definition of a "young" go getter.

I'm now 28 years norwood 7 and back to doing a PhD. Would doing this help me in the future? I don't know. Maybe it always was on the cards for me to be a beta male provider for some 30 year old single mother slut.

Lmao last paragraph

[sagat]

You think you wouldn't suffer from mental issues if you went bald in your teens like some people here?

Give me a break. Discrimination against bald men is harsh and is absolutely real. I've lived it.

When you're a 22 bald man at university for example, what do you think will happen? Have some common sense.

Dude that's what I've been saying. I realize that losing hair/aging isn't fun but some people on this forum are seriously suffering from mental issues. You can't even argue with these people because they see what their mind wants them to see. It's sad really and it's the reason I rarely come on this forum anymore. It's a shame because a lot of these people are intelligent and could contribute to some meaningful discussion but instead we have shitshows like these.

Ads like these are just going to subconsciously imprint in peoples minds that bald guys are the lowest, worthless and most unattractive people you can be with. I laughed at the ad but in all seriousness this is bad.

Yeah... any girls who weren't consciously downing bald guys, are way more likely to do so after seeing this....

really sucks.

Stating that baldness is worse than racism is ****ing ridiculous.

[Jasari]

Sexism, racism, or any discrimination based on physical features are all ultimately related to genetics; and all equally deplorable, regardless of what any university of tumblr graduate SJWs might think.

That's the one unfortunate factor living in an age of surplus. "Tumblr graduate SJW" are like a plague which filters through every level of society. They don't have to worry about basic survival, have a steady income from the safety of their cubes blocked off from the real world and subsequently shove their noses into any debate with a quick google search or half explored notion.

And yet you can not even read a proper sentence written by a man whose English is not native language.


As I have said, it is worse than TODAYS RACISM. I don't see any slavery nor genocide based on basis of color today in America, do you ? Do you know what are the punishments for discriminating someone based on his skin color/joking on it ? A nice cold cell in prison.

Just put that Rogaine AD and instead of a bald guy, use someone who is not white. It's not racist is it ? Oh wait. It is.

Baldness on the same level as racism?!?!?!!

Hahahaha... the clowns on this forum never cease to amaze me. One is a deplorable prejudice that has been the grounds for slavery, genocide etc, the other, an unfortunate physical trait that makes you the butt of a few jokes.

Man up and grow a pair FFS!

lol not avoiding can't be bothered to get into a debate/argument on whether baldness is discriminated on the same level as racism on an internet hairloss forum

Read what I wrote again and you will see that I am not interested in discussing which group is more oppressed. You were quick to condemn others who made a connection between the issues, yet you are unable to provide any evidence on the contrary when provided with a biological rationale. I will repeat again for clarity: sexism, racism, and discrimination based on physical features are all ultimately related to the genetics of the victim. Whatever historical lens you might wish to apply does not change this fact.

It's worse for bald men, black people and diversity in general are celebrated today in Hollywood and the mainstream media.

In almost every single movie or video game, the villain or the child rapist guy will be bald. Countless examples of this can be provided.
