Alll the more amazing because it is reported that the employee had been called a "bald c***". I mean, which is the more sexist term?

In general, if you are calling somebody a X...(usually descriptive in some way) Y... for a reason, as long as there is a reason for the Y..., then because the X... is classed as an ism, shouldn't make a difference.

If you get into an argument with somebody, then all sorts of things will be said. As long as the Y... is deserved in the context, then any X... shouldn't allow the other person to get away with bad behaviour of whatever sort deserving the Y... part.
If somebody who is X attacks you, and you call them a X... Y..., why should the X... matter?

Depends on the dominant chromosome.

X and Y are commonly used as replacements for unspecified terms.

If you're calling somebody a bald c*** because you think they are a c***, then the bald bit is irrelevant and is not sexist.
It is a common language construct, to refer to somebody as a X Y, rather than just a Y.

Ah - there you have it.

"Bald" is an adjective. "C***" is a noun.

Let's pose a little teaser and say that:

Bald = N (gender neutral)
C*** = F (biologically so)
Victim = M (assumed male)
Car = B IBeemer)

Then how old is Aunt Lucy?

Think you've just proven why the claim for sexism was successful, bald guy, baldness is obviously disproportionately a male thing, the employer should've just called him a c***, that's factual judging by this case

As I pointed out, it is a common language construct to use two words. Whatever was or could've been said, wasn't said simply because the person was male. The adjective is simply something that also applies, eg being fat.

I've really got no interest in discussing this except to say if only you'd been the employers legal representative at tribunal, I'm sure it wouldn't have affected the outcome in the slightest
