Anyone else sick of getting "how old are you?" and "are you married" in professional settings?
Anyone else sick of getting "how old are you?" and "are you married" in professional settings?
I need to vent. I normally don't get fired up about this but TWICE today during meetings I have been asked "How old are you?" also someone asked me "are you married?" Does this happen to anyone else?I am a 23-year-old entrepreneur so I expect to get "how old are you?" sometimes. But it's come up multiple times today during meetings in professional settings. The response is always "wow ...what I was doing at 23 was chasing women or bartending or WHATEVER it is blah blah blah" and I know maybe I am supposed to take it as a compliment but I can't help but wonder if men get asked this question too. It's just annoying. We're always having to prove ourselves and our qualifications and even more so as young women I feel. Idk I don't know what other young male entrepreneurs face so maybe they get this too. I just needed a space to vent.
