I also like this definition.
My Mum told me that a lady is a woman who inspired a man to be a gentleman.

Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 10:34:17 +1030 Hello, All, I refer to myself as a human being, a woman, as a lady, but most importantly, as me. One of my definitions of Woman: Woe to any man who attempts to harness me! A very dear male friend of mine defines a lady as a woman who has the patience to sit while the gentleman goes around to make her life just that little bit easier for a moment, by opening the car door and hold it open for her...to show his appreciation of her. After all, if she's wearing a dress, &/or high heels, OR is pregnant, mothering, menopausing, PMT-ing, or otherwise feeling in any way vulnerable, small acts like opening heavy doors etc., can make her life easier. Personally, I like that. It was only when I was pregnant with Leslie and found opening very heavy doors to public buildings, and standing in trams became an issue for me, that I realised being a lady DID NOT mean sitting with one's knees together, but meant allowing others to make my life pleasanter. Enough of my prattling...I have some wonderful news! I'll put it in a separate email, so for those who have had no interest in the lady bit will still read it! Love to all the women, ladies, gents etc. on the list, Aviva ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise Hynd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 8:38 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Bumper stickers for ladies! Dear Pinky I enjoyed and then thought about what the title we use for ourselves means etymologically, overtly and co-vertly. Do I refer to myself as a Woman, lady or girl?? Which do I prefer and why. Possibly neither! Denise --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.423 / Virus Database: 238 - Release Date: 25/11/02
