I’m bald and proud
For me it’s all about self confidence, if you can except yourself for who you are, nobody can use that against you.

No one wants to be bald, no one. It's one thing shaving your head and having a hairline to frame your face, and another thing to shave your head because it's thinning, receding or to the point of were when what left grows, you get the dreaded "horsehoe" or the Mr.Burns from the Simpson style.
I started taking finasteride about 16 months ago when I noticed my hairline was slowing thinning on one side, it was terrifying because my hair is me, it's apart of my identity. Thankfully, since being on the drug, my hair has been getting thicker and thicker.
Looking good + feeling good = self confidence. You can't just "be confident" if you hate how you look. Go to any hairloss forum and see what effect it has on men, mentally and emotionally. I vow to never let myself get like them, that's why I'm taking preventative measure.

I wouldn't say they are discriminated against for being "bald". Although having grown up in Dublin I've heard people say 'ye baldy bastard', never heard 'ye hairy bastard'.
