battlemaiden Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 What does this term stir up in your imagination? I am assuming this term is very subjective. I have a family member visiting who is the epitome of what many would call "ladylike." Quiet spoken, very feminine. She is not frilly, but hair and makeup always pristine (tasteful), and clothes impeccable with accessories in place. She is pleasant, patient, kind, and forgiving. She is lovely. My soul searching on this topic has arisen because she is struggling to get by in our home. We move quickly, talk quickly, we even hug quickly. We are loud, but loving. She can barely lift the baby, and the making of a PB and J sandwich takes so long that I want to cry. It takes her two hours to be "ready" in the morning, and then she can't really do anything because she is so frail- not old mind you- just physically sensitive to the bumps and jostling that occur in a large family. I have looked over at her at times, as she sits on the couch and watches the whirlwind, and wonder if we have shorted a fuse in her mind. It has been difficult for her to leave her orderly, monastic environment and live life amongst real people. By "real" I mean our family as well as our neighbors and friends- who at times can be rough around the edges, but they are real too. She has been here four days. I love this family member, but I don't admire her. I respect her and I honor her position, but I admire strong women. I admire women who can take care of themselves and their neighbors and friends when emergencies occur, and then bake a cake when it is all done.:D I like pretty things. I like comfortable homes and a well set table- but if a hurricane hit next week I would know what to do when my husband had to leave to take the boat to sea leaving me in charge. What I admire doesn't fit my image of "ladylike," but I think my image is changing. I would love your thoughts. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Honestly, I don't think of frail as the epitome of ladylike. Good manners, yes. Femininity, too. (Though I think you can be feminine in cowboy (girl!) boots). Well spoken and even gentle, as in a "gentle and quiet spirit". But I think that a gentle and quiet spirit can be present in a flamboyant person - it's the inside that's gentle and quiet, not the outside. A person who is overwhelmed by "life" would be in turmoil inside, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Bear Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Jo, I think she has major wiring issues. She's probably easily overwhelmed because not everything's firing quite like it should. Sensory stuff, time management stuff, all kinds of things goin' on in her head that are just very different from how your group does things. Neither is objectively bad, just truly different hardwiring. Blessings on you as you enjoy her for who she is. Certain interactions I've had lately with certain relatives of similar description have left me with my eyeballs rolling crazily around in my head, so I'll be quiet now. (Except to say that I don't think this has anything to do with being ladylike. She might need more calories or something to increase her stamina, though.) Blessings, dear. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm sure she is ladylike, but that is not ladylike. Ladylike is not what you do, it's how you do it. It's about having impeccable manners, carriage, grace, while doing everything you do, whether that is building the barn or baking a cake or setting the table and hosting a ladies' tea. (and I can completely relate to her shell shock - I'm an only child with quiet parents. Every day, the chaos and noise of having three kids running around shocks me.)

Guest Alte Veste Academy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What does this term stir up in your imagination? Ha! I don't even have to use my imagination. Around here, being ladylike means don't show your undies and get your finger out of your nose. :tongue_smilie: DD4 is a tough study. She would fit your definition of ladylike though. She's tough as nails! :lol: I admire strong women. I admire women who can take care of themselves and their neighbors and friends when emergencies occur, and then bake a cake when it is all done.:D I like pretty things. I like comfortable homes and a well set table- but if a hurricane hit next week I would know what to do when my husband had to leave to take the boat to sea leaving me in charge. What I admire doesn't fit my image of "ladylike," but I think my image is changing. I like what you like but I wouldn't define a take-charge attitude or lack thereof as ladylike. I think you can be tough as nails and also ladylike but you can also be a gentle, delicate ladylike person. To me, being a lady is the feminine version of being a gentleman--showing grace, respect for others, good manners, offering help when needed, saying nothing unless you have something nice to say and, of course, not showing your undies and keeping your finger out of your nose. Some things never change, even with age. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2read Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 When I think of ladylike I think of someone who is control of their actions. They control what comes out of their mouth (no swearing, rude comments, etc.) and what their body does (e.g., no break dancing) and they dress in a stylish but reserved fashion. They're cultured too. From the little bit that you wrote, it sounds like she is ladylike and strong otherwise she'd be snapping at everyone because she isn't used to that type of confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elw_miller Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would add Elizabeth Bennet as a lady. She can speak her mind without being crude; she knows her own value as a person and stays true to herself and her values; she admits error humbly. Eowyn is also a lady. Just thought of something. Is there a difference in the connotation of lady versus ladylike? Might there be a distinction between the two? Perhaps I'm splitting hairs...

stripe Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I wouldn't really associate frailty with refinement; I think of ladylike as being refined. But one can be tough and still conscientious. Uh, we've been having conversations about modesty around here lately. Dh and I have rather different ideas. What I call modesty, he calls hang ups. I don't want my daughter having too many hang ups, but if modesty is one, it's one I want her to have. You can withhold certain things to the right circumstance; it's not a contradiction to be chaste AND be able to express and enjoy marital love, in my opinion -- because you wait for the right situation, behaving in one mode, and then you let your guard down. It's not reliving Rosaura's wedding night from "Like Water for Chocolate" with that sheet, nor is it grabbing any old man off the street to prove you aren't inhibited.

Hedgehogs4 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think the Proverbs 31 woman is the model for lady-likeness. She is the ultimate liberated woman, strong, sensitive, hard-working, smart, well-dressed, and respected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 For me, "ladylike" isn't necessarily a term of approbation. I am with the other poster who said she'd rather be thought of in terms of "what a woman" than "what a lady." Among other things, the word lady most frequently comes out of my mouth when I am disagreeing with someone on the radio, or behind an annoying driver (eg. "Come ON, lady--what are you talking about, etc). My mother told me to be ladylike and not call boys first, they should call you. Whether or not you agree with this sentiment, I don't think that ladylikeness rests in your phone etiquette, or any other single attribute (except, perhaps, for the "finger out of nose" bit! :lol:). I too admire strong women--I am more of an Eowyn girl than an Arwen. She knew what she wanted to do and she did it. That's the woman I admire. Was she ladylike? I dunno--she was beautiful, honorable, gracious, loyal, and steadfast--but she sure didn't sit on her cushion, sewing fine seams, and dining on strawberries, sugar, and cream. Is she ladylike? I think not. I think she is a gentlewoman. That's what I'd like to be, myself. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel better now. :D Honestly, you said she is lovely, and I'm sure she is. She's just more comfortable in her own element, just as we all are. My family would not be as comfortable in her home, even being as lovely as she is. We are loud, joke and laugh all the time, have many kids, etc. We are NOT quiet people. So we'd probably be much more comfortable in YOUR environment than hers. Ladylike? Hmmm..... I'd have to think about that.

Loupelou Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have seen a lot of favorite characters who are perceived as "ladylike" in the posts, what struck me is that we judge them as a package rather than for their actions in their particular environment. My favorite "lady" is Eleanor from Sense and Sensibility. She knew what she wanted though she couldn't act upon all of them. She was strong, she had courage, she was intelligent, she could cook, clean, and run a household while everyone else went crazy despite the social environment in which she found herself. I don't know how she would behave if thrust into Lord of the Rings or Gone with the Wind, but I would like to think she could hold her own! I think of a lady as someone who loves beauty, can carry on a conversation with anyone willingly, regardless of their perceived social stature, without making it apparent. A woman who can press on when the chips are down. An intelligent woman who seeks knowledge, is modest in dress and speech. A woman who expects as much from those she is around but leads by example not conscription. A woman as comfortable dealing with a ladies luncheon, a children's outing, or hauling/chopping the wood. Wow, what a list, it brings me to mind of that scene between Elizabeth Bennet & Mr. Darcy after he describes his idea of the ideal woman. "I am no longer surprised at your knowing ONLY six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing ANY." "Are you so severe upon your own sex as to doubt the possibility of all this? "_I_ never saw such a woman. _I_ never saw such capacity, and taste, and application, and elegance, as you describe united." Boy, I've got a long way to go!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Ladylike to me is sort of a refinement, a grace that controls oneself under pressure. Good manners and poise, great hostess. Kind of what others have posted. Interesting question because my mother and MIL are both self-assured bold women. They both have ladylike qualities but sitting quietly is not one of them. I would not want to be on the opposite of a debate with either of them. They are opinionated and willing to fight for the right thing. Fortunately they both like me. I have never considered them any less than ladies. So maybe I'd add knowing when to speak and when to let something go would a ladylike quality. My family is loud, we live life. We talk loud, we fight loud, we live out loud. I tend more to the Eowyn side of ladylike vs the Austen version. Give me a sword and a battlefield and I'll be there, I do not want to be the one home waiting for the warriors to return. I'm not sure I've ever been accused of being "ladylike" and that's all right with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Emma Harte from Barbara Taylor Bradford's book A Woman of Substance. She is a lady. To me ladylike has more to do with a woman's ability to be true to herself no matter what situation she finds herself in. It comes from within. Someone can have impecable manners but still be a nasty person. Not a lady. I do tell my daughter to sit like a lady when sitting in a dress or skirt. Which is simply a reminder that she needs to keep her knees together unless she wants to be showing off her knickers. I believe most people use the term ladylike to refer to demure, quiet, perfect manners, gracious, and proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moms of Many learn managerial skills that aren't the norm with most people, and I think it can be hard not to judge others by that stick. (I'm not just suggesting this to Jo...I'm guilty of this myself. I could see me snatching the knife from my mom as she delicately made a PBJ sandwich, lol.) I use a Biblical standard, as a Christian, to define "ladylike". Not much to do with prim and proper, but everything to do with a gentle spirit.

Desert Rat Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 All I can think of Jo, and this is a bit tongue in cheek, is that the only time heard "ladylike" while I was growing up is in terms of the way I was sitting. :) Example: "Don't sit with one leg flung over the arm of the chair. Sit ladylike." So for me it was a matter of poise and body language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hmmm....this is something good to think about.

Oddly, I also think of my younger dd as on her way to being ladylike, though I wouldn't have put it that way before I read some of these descriptions. She is on her way, yet she always has dirty toenails from playing outside, she uses power tools like a pro, she can put together furniture based on directions given in weird little drawings and languages other than English, and she dissects owl pellets and fetal pigs with the best of them.
