Whats a question women get asked that a man would be never get asked?

[OneUmberJoker]

For example
When are you going to have kids?

“Are you going to eat all that”

What do you do for a living?

What’s your body count?

Or different words to similar effect. Never have I heard a woman ask a man this question.

Of course they do? It’s a basic ice breaker question when anyone meets someone?

My DH never had one

@AgapanthusPink
No it’s the kind of thing a dick of a bloke naively thinks he has the right to know, when he doesn’t know the other person.

I bet when you do it, you’re weighing up whether the person you ask is a good financial prospect or not. Come on be honest.

This

plus “Are you sure?” About anything. I could say it’s Tuesday and it’s let’s check with <male colleague>

Why don’t you have kids?
Whos going to look after you when you’re old?
Arent you afraid you’re going to miss out by not having kids?
are you one of those career women then?
Youll never know what love is by not having kids
What if your husband wants kids?
can you work Christmas as you don’t have a family?
Why are you booking leave in August? You don’t have a family
and on and on.

In my case, I get, "Do you work here?" in a tone of wonder... because clearly, women are non-existent in farming! I get mistaken for being a work experience student most of the time...

"So, you'll be looking for a rich farmer to marry then, will you?" I'd rather be the rich farmer, thank-you.

"So... if you work on a farm... can you drive a tractor?" Yes... and all kinds of large farm machinery, which often attracts looks of wonder when I am driving them on public roads. After the initial surprise, most passing fellow females grin and wave at me 😊

I've had, "are you the secretary?" when I answered the phone.
"It's unusual to see a woman in a datacentre."
And many others.

What a load of bullshit. I am independent, happily single, and don’t need anyone to bank roll me. If I ask what someone does it is as a talking point. Conversely I don’t want to be with someone I have to bank roll. I suspect a lot of men feel the same way.

Although I find it odd that you think only people of the opposite sex ask that question with a view to a relationship? Surely it’s a question people ask everyday when meeting new people?

I frequently have to manoeuvre a Landrover with a large flatbed trailer behind it. This requires reversing uphill and round a tight corner in a narrow lane and predicting where the trailer will go so as not to hit the wall etc. When I’ve done this manoeuvre I am very often congratulated by a passing man (last week a random dog walker stopped to give me a round of applause), or if I’m half way through the manoeuvre they will ask if they can help me because, being in possession of the Y chromosome they will automatically be able to do better even if they’ve only ever driven a Vauxhall Nova. My DH, who finds this task much more difficult than I do never hears ‘well done Love’ or ‘can you manage?’

Which one of you gents has the black Mercedes parked out front?
Asked to a meeting I was in as the only female. It was my car.

Who’s got the kids today (if you go out at the weekend or something)

erm… they’re just at home, you know, with their dad!

At work:
"Dave is retiring in two weeks. Can you organise his collection please?"
"It's your turn to sort the Christmas do. Which venues are you thinking about?"

(From a male partner): When's my mum's / sister's / cousin's birthday?

Is your other half babysitting?

Same!
Not for an urgent thing but school needed to check something with us. One missed call from school but no message. Then they tried again an hour later. DH had no missed calls.
I made a point to have them check the paperwork « sorry we must have messed up, we intended to put down DH as primary contact, please can you check » and of course DH was indeed listed first, cue mumbling about why they didn’t call him, even when I was not answering.

Re « who is looking after the kids », I don’t know if it has been mentioned already but there was a politician couple in France, he was president and she was a candidate another year. And yes, she was asked about the kids 🙄

"Are you really going to eat all that?"

Yes, of course I'm going to eat the entire slice of cake that I chose, paid for and is on my plate.

Only women ever ask that, too. And only women try to bond with me over disordered eating habits.

Similar story although yours is more impressive - I have to back on to my drive but the council have recently changed the parking bays that a permit only so if the bays are full (3x cars) and one is a wide van or wide 4x4 it is very difficult to back on to the drive without doing 20 in and out reverses. Anyway, one elderly neighbour always makes a point of congratulating me if he sees me parking. TBF though I do let women down as sometimes I'm a bit lazy about it if too tricky and go and ask my husband to do it if he is in - I know, I know this is let the side down. I think this started off as, will you help me by letting me know how close the bonnet is to the parked cars when I am backing in, then he with the overconfidence of most men I know offered to do it for me. What's equally bad is that he tells me not to stand and tell him how close the front is to the parked cars as it is embarrassing and he doesn't need my help!

Manoeuvres not "reverses".

Does you partner ‘help’ around the house?
