I wonder how many of the questions that are taboo really should be. Should I
be offended if someone asks my age? As a man the world would say no. If I
were a woman, I should be offended by the question and you should be
apologetic about asking. Why? If I'm asked how tall I am, I answer. If I'm
asked how much I weigh, I hesitate and wonder why they want to know and then
decide whether to tell them or fudge on the figure. Why is my weight less a
subject for question than my height? Perhaps because I feel guilty about one
and think I had no control over the other?
