That’s one exception that doesn’t surprise me. Do you have any sense how often they are doing this with intentional irony compared with genuine obliviousness?
Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?

It’s really only creepy old dudes I get it from. It seems pretty genuine most of the time. These comments are more frequent and more egregious with my women coworkers, though, as one might expect.

How interesting! That makes it even less surprising.

And they say it’s because “you’re prettier when you smile” or something like that?
