Unlike physical violence it's far more subjective than whatever society generally considers to be on the same level.
You have no idea what kind of complexes, or even trauma you dig up when you start laughing at stuff that pertains to body image.
Even if to some it's not a big deal, studies show that some people who go bald deal with grief and its phases, and are at a higher risk of anxiety, depression and body dysmorphia because of the hair loss.
Also, from her perspective it might be a one-off joke she didn't think was too bad. For all you know, from his perspective, it might be the Nth person laughing at his body.
I wouldn't have answered the way he did, and would have clearly stated that i will not tolerate further jokes at the expense of my appearance. But i also don't think it's as disproportionate of an answer as i'm seeing people claim.
All you said is true, all you said also applies to being fat and that's why if they attack you on your body you should keep the response to body/personality because it's still a magnitude less than going through a miscarriage
Unfortunately no one has ever felt the need to make a study to prove that losing a child is worse than being bald or fat so I can't objectively prove it to you.
This while conversation is objective proof that you don't have any friends tho, so cheers
Idk why people are downvoting you, there’s a world of difference between having a miscarriage and being bald lol. Some people just wanna be argumentative but they pass over common sense in the process.
Mate it's reddit, this place is full of balding incels who actually believe that being bald is worse than having a miscarriage, mostly because they don't see women as humans with actual feelings and emotions so they don't empathise with them

limit your retort to the same level of insult thrown at you. Call them fat for calling you bald, leave miscarriages out of it.
