Why is it rude to ask a woman her age?

I am male.  As a teenager I once asked a woman her age.  Her reply:  "It is rude to ask a woman her age.  A woman never tells her age."

    Because it adds to a woman's aura of mystery.

    Because most women are ashamed of it (they even claim to stop aging at 39).

    You don't have to understand that.  Just don't do it.

    Because we live in an ageist, sexist society and a woman's age is one of the factors that people will use to judge her.
