Can I sue a movie agent because the part I wanted needed a woman all because I am a man?
Can I sue a local catholic church for an advertised role for a choir boy when I can'[t sing and I am a man?
Can I sue a local art gallery for not promoting my work all because I can't paint for toffee?
Probably not,
Can anybody therefore explain how this odious, foul, terrorist loving bint of a hideous woman managed to receive damages for this??
Why is Great Britain so kind to these sickening people?

Technically, whether you like it or not, it is a law within the British legal system created long ago. Indirect discrimination.
The [job] criteria cannot actually be justified by the employer as a real requirement of the job. So a candidate who cannot meet the criteria could still do the job as well as anyone else.
With Indirect Discrimination an employer can argue that there may be discrimination, but that it is actually required for the job, (this is known as a "geniune occupational requirement" (GOR)).
This does not happen very often, but circumstances where it might occur are, for example, actors who are needed to play certain characters for authenticity. The same can be true for restaurants, for example an Indian restaurant will want Indian staff rather than white staff. Or where race or gender is a genuine occupational qualification for the job, for example, employing women in an all female hostel.
Whilst the owner would have preferred her to not wear the scarf, this would have not preventedd her form doing the job - as the salon owner had suggested.
Unfair? Perhaps, its a matter of opinion. But it wouldn't be the first time someone has said the law is an ass. Maybe one day, the same law will help you.

Have you seen Tootsie or Mrs Doubtfire???
I could play a woman.
It's all wrong I tell ye, all wrong.
Woolly left wing radicals running the show. It's time GB was liberated for the do-gooding lentil eaters who are blatantly ruining everything or anyone who does not have a name like, well errrrrrrrrrrrrrr Abdul Majid for example.

It's almost as bad as the BBC having black actors in its search for Nancy and Oliver. When I watched the show and saw a black boy auditioning, I thought, " Surely they're looking for Oliver not Delroy."
I also remember an announcement on the BBC looking for an actress to play a part in the next Harry Potter film. It said you had to be female, about 15 years of age and of ethnic Chinese origin. By today's standards, this is sexist, ageist and racist. Imagine if they had asked for an ethnic British Actor to play the part. Trevor Phillips would have had a field day.
As to the question. I think that she saw pound signs before her eyes and went for the easy cash.

your answer of 22.51 is so random and uncomprehensible that I hope you may be able to explain it.
Why is this woman 'hideous'?
Why is she an odious, foul, terrorist loving bint?
Why is she a sickening person?
You are one of the foremost people on AB who search out common council-house behaviour, and yet this woman has been bullied and you do not feel able to act the knight in shining armour to help her.
I take it that you are not familiar with the milieu of the proceedings. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT KINGS CROSS you thicko, DOH! Try being an attractive woman (which this lady undoubtedly is) and walk around Kings Cross for half an hour. Then you will see that any woman or child has a problem dealing with that and I feel ashamed of any Abers who agree with you without knowing what that area is like.

The flaw in the question is that she's perfectly capable of cutting hair.
The issue was whether showing off a funky hairdo was a genuine requirement of the job or something cooked up afterwards to cover the employer's back.
I wasn't there at the tribunal so I can't really say. But I'm sure you guys know the facts intimately.
