Can you believe that a New York lawyer sent letters of demand to hair salons around the area where he lived for discriminatory practice? According to this lawyer (a male), he was distressed by the fact that the salons charged different prices to cut the hair of a male as opposed to a female. He claimed that this amounted to sexual discrimination, and hence wanted damages.
Interestingly, it was a matter of fact that the salons in fact charged men less than women. If at all they were discriminatory, he was in fact a recipient of the benefit of the discrimination.
Just goes to show how when we are insistent on our own views, we can go slightly off the mark.
