Sadly, it appears, the reply is sure, regardless of a broader cultural shift away from this line of questioning in formal interviews with media shops. In terms of different individuals’s our bodies, the phrases of fundamental respect typically dictate that questions and commentary of any form — constructive, unfavorable, or seemingly benign — are by no means kosher.
