Can we just make a pact never to comment or judge another person's appearance? Like, ever? It's one of those things that really burns its way into your brain and festers uncontrollably.

I'm sure some would disagree but more know exactly what I'm talking about here. 

You can maybe look at it from the angle that the parent was clearly trying to help their child and coming from a place within their own experience. The thing is that their experience may have been true once but isn't really isn't the way contemporary/modern workplaces function.
