I&#x27;m not apologizing for any behavior.. but it&#x27;s hard to take some things as seriously in a society with &quot;micro aggressions&quot;, and asking if a person is married, or has family ties in an interview is considered sexual harassment (per article).<p>I&#x27;ve been asked bout marriage status and family in interviews... gauging how tied into a location is perfectly reasonable, it allows one to know how open someone might be to travel or relocation.  On the flip side, how likely someone might move to another city for higher pay.<p>Not everything that can be construed in a negative light should be, and not every question is meant to be a sexual&#x2F;harassing probe.  Casual conversation in an office is normal... It&#x27;s when things cross the line, groping and some of the statements as examples in the article are definitely so.
