The habit gets a new name.
Asking a woman when she’s due is not a harmless question. It’s a potentially hurtful and insulting one. Some women have conditions that cause weight gain, and asking about pregnancy can be painful. The teacher in this story has PCOS and struggles with infertility. The question is not just rude, it’s also a reminder that women’s bodies are still subject to scrutiny and judgment. The routine arrives with confidence, but the awkwardness that follows is a harsh reality.
The lifestyle enters the chat, and we’re reminded that women’s bodies are not public property.
