Bald men need to get in line, then. Middle aged men are among the least discriminated against demographic.
I would imagine that they are the least protected, but there definitely ARE situations that they are clearly a factor of discrimination, if you can't see it, step outside.
Sean Connery, John Wayne, Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham.
For men, "beautiful" and "sexy" come from the projection of power. Fat men are sexy when food is scarce. The Japanese chonmage hairstyle was a reverence to the older, more accomplished fighters (who often had male pattern baldness).
Up next: Social Justice for the Short Man, for those with a 'country' accent, for the glasses wearers (in the off-seasons for nerdiness), the straight-up unattractive. They are all real, the question we must contend with is: Are all externally imposed, negatively perceived features, protected from measurement/discrimination? What about age? Can you discriminate towards youthfulness if you will, in your time, become o…

Stakedy is auto-generated by AI. (It’s hard to figure out how, it’s some crazy blockchainy thing.) The fact that people don’t recognize that and try to argue the merit of the article here makes me scared.

Seriously, there's a lot more diversity in advertising these days, but I don't think we'll ever get to the point where companies are open to diversity of attractiveness. (Or people pushing for it.) Can you imagine an Apple ad where you have average looking, or unattractive, people taking photos with the latest iPhone?

I think we are not far from somebody trying that. We know that people are trained to ignore advertisements by constant practice, and perhaps every possible change will eventually have to be made to stay ahead of the subconscious spam filter.

Been removed from the Front Page despite the total number of points, which is pretty odd. That's manual manipulation to get that to happen, I would assume.
That story is about 36 hours old. Why would you assume there's manual manipulation to remove old stories from HN?
Good luck with being uncomfortable bald. Maybe it's not the baldness you're actually uncomfortable with.
