'Inherently linked to gender' | Calling a female colleague 'frumpy' is sex discrimination, judge rules

Saying a woman looks “frumpy” in the workplace amounts to sex discrimination, an employment judge has ruled.

The ruling came in the case of Yuanyuan Zhang, a senior manager at an investment firm, who said she had been “humiliated” after her boss described her choice of outfit as looking like a “frumpy grandma”.
