21 Differences Between A Southern Belle And A Modern Woman

This was a really nice read.

I appreciate the fact that it mentioned while we do care about our looks and health, that southern belles are not afraid to eat, enjoy food, or cook with butter. It is all about moderation in every aspect of your life. Some may consider us prim and proper, but personally I find it better than the alternative. There is a time and place for everything, of course, and it is ok at times to let your hair down. It really just depends on who you are with and what the occasion is. I feel that appropriation is something that many 'modern women' are lacking.

While I absolutely support a "Southern Belle" way of living, I don't necessarily agree with this writers attitude completely.

"They are happy to live the life they have, and be who they are, without pleasing some feminist or businesswoman who wants them to be more “modern.” They know how much better life is when you live it in style."

"without pleasing SOME feminist" "who wants them to be more modern" "how much better life is when you live it in style"

Maybe it's just me, but I sense an unpleasant attitude. I agree that being a traditional woman is the ideal thing, but I wouldn't tell others my life is way better because I'm more classy or something. Maybe other women find happiness in other ways of living. I'm not them. I'm not going to judge. I'm going to let them live the life they have and be who they are, just like I'm going to live the life I have and be who I am.

Many of these things she mentions would apply to any well-raised woman. "The gift of gab" and the gossip thing sound bad to me.

I suppose it was still a nice read.

I came across this article while browsing my Facebook. I found the title intriguing and decided to check it out.

The first thing I found eye-catching was the term "Southern Belle." When I think on Southern Belles, my mind goes back to a time when southern ladies wore large gowns, had their hair up, spoke softly, and threw some fairly elegant parties. These women were often middle/upper class (and well off!) as compared to many families today.

As I read through it, I found some things I agreed with greatly or only partially as a RPW (such as #1) and some things I couldn't stand to look at (#19, for example). Some of the things I agreed with partially were right in principle but had a few parts I took issue with (#2). Some I thought were irrelevant (#17).

I wanted to see what you ladies thought of this short article/list and how it relates to our views as RPW.

I love this! It reminds me of two things:

In college, I joined a well-known sorority which originated in the south. Part of our pledge period involved etiquette classes and tests. It was hammered home to us, over and over, that we needed to be ladies. Still, some women up north just didn't seem to get it, which is why the northern chapters were looked down upon by our southern girls. So many women nowadays seem to have lost that sense of manners, charm, and courtesy.

Born Yankee, dated many Southern women. They are the superior race. Southern accents, especially from Georgia, are unbelievably sexy. Texas gets a close second, but Alabama is a bit much.
