SEX DISCRIMINATION (3)

The Equalities Commission in Denmark is busy issuing a load of rulings that make life rather dull. Fortunately, the courts include people who are a bit more sensible. One of the Commission's rulings was that hairdressers could not charge different prices to men and women. The court has just overturned that ruling on the grounds that a man's haircut is a service that is not the same as a woman's.

Hooray for common sense. Any married man could have told the Commission that within five seconds. I suppose I should look on the bright side and say that the system got to the right result in the end.
