Let’s face it: curiosity is part of human nature. While men often get hit with questions about their careers—like “What’s your job?” or “Where did you go to college?”—women tend to find themselves on the receiving end of more personal inquiries about relationships and family life. This isn’t shocking, given the stereotypes that still linger in society. However, the questions can often feel intrusive. So, in the spirit of 2023, here’s a fresh take on some common queries that can make a woman want to scream.
