Why is her age relevant? It's not an appropriate question for a colleague anyway, but I'm curious why that would make it worse.

- onion2k 9y agoWhy is her age relevant? Asking a woman who's 25 if she's still a virgin is a clearly loaded question - if she says yes then she's admitting to be inexperienced and should sleep with the the 'man' asking in order to learn the ways of the world, and if she says no then she's admitting that she's sexually active and therefore willing to sleep with a 'man' like the one asking the question. Creepy assholes use this sort of tactic because they get off on making someone else feel bad. If you see it you really should call them out.
- morgante 9y agoOh, I agree it's super creepy and would call out any colleague who I saw doing it. I just think it's creepy regardless of her age.
- nostrademons 9y agoIt's context. The scenario plays out differently in most peoples' heads if said to a 40-year old veteran of the industry vs. a 25-year-old new hire vs. a 19-year-old intern. I'd agree that it's inappropriate for all of them, but it's inappropriate in different ways.
