Chastity in todays world

Female Chastity in Today’s World

Did the sexual revolution that rocked America in the 1960’s change forever the expectation that a lady live in chastity? Are women free to express their sexuality in public and still be respected as a lady?  Does female chastity still have a place in today’s world? It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent celibacy, by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a […]

What is a Casual Dress Code?

I find the topic of casual dress code to be a very interesting topic.  There is a subjective element in its understanding. What one woman considers to be appropriate is rarely shared by women generally. While it is something personal to a woman’s taste and style, there are also other elements at play. “Casual Dress Code” is a trap that we can easily fall into.  It doesn’t mean dress in casual clothes that you wear around the house.  Generally, the safest way to navigate this minefield is to be a step above causal, and a step below semi-formal. Don’t worry, […]

The Weaker Sex

Are Women the Weaker Sex?

The phrase “the weaker sex” is considered offensive to many people. I believe that the phrase is representative of acceptable oppression of women and should be considered obsolete in our modern language. Now, the ladies being together under these circumstances, it was extremely natural that the discourse should turn upon the propensity of mankind to tyrannize over the weaker sex, and the duty that developed upon the weaker sex to resist that tyranny and assert their rights and dignity. – Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop (1841) Why we received the title of ‘The Weaker Sex” Women were considered the […]

Swearing and the Lady

Is Women Swearing Acceptable?

I know that peer pressure encourages us to swear. Swearing is verbal communion, where we use keywords which represent various emotions and connect us as a group. I understand this need to be accepted in our community.  However, as a lady, I seek to minimize offense that my ignorance might cause to other people.   Just as there are groups who use profanity to connect, there are also groups who connect through the quality of their language. Therefore, this urge to connect with your peers also serves to disconnect you from those in the wider community. I can see no […]

How to Build Confidence and Self-Esteem

Of all the questions that I am asked by my clients, without question, the number 1 question is from women asking how to build confidence.  A woman who isn’t comfortable in her own skin doesn’t have much confidence in herself.  She wants to blend seamlessly into the background and not be noticed by anyone.  Perhaps she has the wrong idea that a feminine woman is shy and undemanding of attention. I am going to teach you one little skill that is going to throw all of that out of the window, and start you learning how to build confidence and […]

Crossed Legs like a lady

How to Cross your Legs like a Lady

Many women will see this title as a contradiction. This is because strict etiquette says that a real lady does not cross her legs, so it should not be possible to say that a woman can have crossed legs. Well… I live in the real world… The reality is that over 70% of women have crossed legs when sitting. Etiquette and deportment needs to move with the times and be something that is suitable for the 21st-century woman. Women no longer receive the training in their youth to strengthen their inner thigh muscles through keeping their legs close together when […]
