A new twist on "The Question"

[FinnKilt]

I've noticed that if I respond to The Question (almost always, incidentally, from a woman) by pointing out that asking about someone else's underwear (or not) in public is surely sexual harassment, certainly if done by a man to a woman, they do NOT look ashamed or apologize but rather assert "No, it's not", or "Don't be so touchy" – in other words, the classic response of the Male Chauvinist Pig when rebuked for harassing a woman.
