I'm pretty sure that, at least in the US, that is totally illegal. And that's kind of the root problem with the continuation of female oppression in the workplace--no one does (can do/will do) anything about it.
Do they know its a question they can't ask? Did you?
If you did know, did you report it? To who?
Of course, you want the job so you don't want to rock the boat. Or you don't want to seem whiney. Or 'it really doesn't matter'
When we do stand up for some right, we get labled a trouble maker. If you live in a small community, good luck getting a job after that.
My ex-wife got fired in a very discriminatory manner and she went to the state EEOC and got nowhere--impossible to prove. I was trying to tell her to go to the NRLB but she didn't. Dunno if that would have gotten her any further. (They didn't tell her that her real job title was 'scapegoat')
