How would you describe yourself? If your gender is female, then you can claim to be a woman, just naturally. There is a distinguishing difference between being a woman and being a lady. In our culture today women are portrayed as powerful, movers and shakers and little girls are encouraged to become a woman.
There was a small discussion on Facebook some minutes ago regarding how men treated women. I posed the thought that perhaps the word 'women' should be changed to 'lady' and perhaps men would act more gentlemanly. The word 'lady' describes a female that has had good breeding. She has been taught how to behave well. She has learned how to be gracious and kind and well mannered. She has dignity. We females do want to be treated with respect and gentleness from men. We are special. We do not have to come from wealth to have good breeding and if we were not blessed with that kind of education in our background, that doesn't have to hold us back from acquiring it now.
If you see yourself as a lady, you will act the part and dress the part and speak the part and others will treat you differently because you are different. If you expect to be treated as a lady and aren't, just give it time and keep expecting it and be patient because that is the way ladies act. We set the pace. We hold all the cards because we are special and what we are makes us needed. We have lost this prestige position by acting like men, rough and tough and, if I might say, immodest. So, what can we expect, except to be treated like a man.
