Because she ranted online about something that is pissing her off?

By that rubrik, how many people are?


You know what I think? I think different people draw different lines about what they consider intrusive and rude, and what they consider fair game fior conversation. I also think there are gender differences in what we ask and get asked on a regular basis.

Most of us, myself included, who find the 'when are you/are you' going tohave children questions intrusive never actually give anyone grief about asking us. We take it on the chin, because it would be rude not to. But apparently it is also rude to complain in any forum that this thing people keep asking you is something you find really discomforting in a general sense.

I've seen people get more bent out of shape about apostrophes and they didn't get questioned about their fitness to parent.
