Today's "Yenta Hour" Lectures Women On How To Be Ladies

In the clip at left, psychologist Judith Sills explains that while once the term “lady” had a “prissy, withheld, repressed” connotation, “today’s lady” should strive to be “confident, strong, but soft around the edges.” A survey found that 89% of women would like to be described as “confident” and “gutsy” but don’t particularly care to be called a “lady,” but, according to some dude from Esquire all it takes for us to make the jump to “lady” is class. So you can be an assertive, confident woman, just remember your manners, make sure you always look cute, and bat your eye lashes while you’re at it.
