Never ask a woman if she’s pregnant.
“If a woman wants to talk about a pregnancy with you, she will. Otherwise, it’s not really any of your business,” Engeln said. “You might have to put a woman in a position where she has to confirm something she’s not ready to confirm or to talk about something she’s not ready to talk about yet.”
Furthermore, if you’re making that assumption based on appearance alone, it could be extremely offensive.
Elman believes commenting on a women’s weight is not body-positive.
“You rarely know the context of a situation when commenting on a person’s body,” she told INSIDER. “Therefore a lot of comments, particularly body-shaming ones are made from assumptions about a person’s well-being and health.”
