What's with the vitriol against Vetus wherever he posts?
Vetus has made approximately 100 posts in the past two days. If I counted correctly, I replied to him 5 times. Two of these were part of a pleasant exchange in the Portuguese thread. One, in the "Heresy" thread could be seen as negative, I suppose, although I felt no anger when writing it. In that same thread, I also made an appeal to people to stop baiting Vetus. I made two posts in this thread about being uncomfortable with his use of sexual reference. It is inaccurate to refer to this as vitriol. Nor is it correct to say that I respond whenever he posts. I'm referring to per_passionem jumping down his throat and a number of other posters on this forum (not exclusively this thread). You actually weren't in mind in this case, at least.  You weren't complaining about me? I must go write this down in my calendar so that I can commemorate this event in perpetuity. I mean, I COULD.......  |

I believe that being a "lady" or "gentleman" requires a sort of demure, aristocratic bearing that not everyone is called to have. To insist that every woman be a lady sounds quite egalitarian.

The "calling" is just luck into being born into the right situation. It is a sub-culture of upbringing, just like the street sub-culture. One cannot easily imitate the other well, but that is not because of any quality the people have, but the upbringing. It is pure chance. |

I think that my ideas about what makes a lady are largely based on fiction. Probably the first character that influenced my ideas was Lady Penelope of Thunderbirds: |

What's it all about? What do you think? Describe ladylikeness. Don't just say 'the Blessed Virgin and the female saints'. Give details. Links. Anything.
Good lady tips here: |

Don't be silly. French is not that hard to learn. |

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch

Don't be silly. French is not that hard to learn. None of these requirements seems very difficult. I have read several books about cleaning and cooking and mastered the theory involved immediately. Now if Vetus wanted a woman who actually cooks and cleans rather than knows how to do it, he might have a problem. |

The "calling" is just luck into being born into the right situation. It is a sub-culture of upbringing, just like the street sub-culture. One cannot easily imitate the other well, but that is not because of any quality the people have, but the upbringing. It is pure chance. HK and Rosarium, this is so helpful! I think in my case, considering my late conversion and my working class background, the best I might be able to do is focus on the things we all need to focus on, rather than specifically on 'being a lady', or even being feminine. I think it's only natural that if I become holy I will have to become more feminine too, only because I am already female, and the only causes for my not be very feminine are the result of my bad habits. Maybe, to the degree that I free myself from bad habits, I will grow in holiness and femininity at the same time. I probably won't be able to help it. I know that St. Teresa of Avila always talked about being manly as being a desirable trait for herself and her nuns, but I think her situation could be considered exceptional, considering she and the nuns were probably never conditioned from an early age, as I was, to be as androgynous as possible. God help us all! |
