A question to the men on my flist...

So guys, straight and gay... would you consider a woman saying, "Have you ever thought about waxing your balls?" to be a serious question, or would you in fact recognise it as a suggestion that perhaps you should not be suggesting that women wax various bits of *their* anatomy?

No, this really is nothing to do with writing, although it will probably end up in there at some point. One of the female members of my flist was asked an impertinent question today, and my immediate thought on an appropriate response was modified by the realisation that some men would probably answer yes...

ETA: the context is hair stylist, male, orientation unspecified.
