Not sure about others, but I find that these kind of questions are so invasive, ... and so frequent!https://twitter.com/kirstie_j/status/983479020712071169 …

@kirstie_j is also talking about what I'm talking about too based on her quoted tweet. So I hope the confusion is cleared up. -
Oh, and one final point, women but not men sadly are financially affected (paid less) by having kids. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/05/upshot/even-in-family-friendly-scandinavia-mothers-are-paid-less.amp.html …

@CyrilRPernet I can only assume that you are a man, thus I understand that you like being asked about your kids. In my experience, chances are that you are not going to be rejected when applying for a job because you have children or are in reproductive age. On the contrary, -
often I've overheard this hideous, closed-doors, comment: "He has a family to feed" as an argument in favour of the male candidate, which I have never ever heard applied to women.

Yes, that's one of the reasons men with children have higher salaries than men without and women. In fact, the lowest salary tends to be women with children. Extra depressing.
-
So in a system where the agent is a man and knows having children is a plus, there's every incentive to mention them at work.
-
Yes! Besides, and going back to the initial tweet, personal feelings or likes are not (should not be) the bloody business of an employer.
-
Additionally, dismissing the disgust of someone who considers themselves subjected of an inappropriate behaviour because YOU like it, (therefore every one should) is insensitive and disrespectful.
