(2,125 posts)a "proper lady" should cross her legs at the ankle, not at the knees, and certainly should not sit on one leg (my favorite position).

(23,173 posts)A lady always sits with her ankles crossed and her knees together, I heard it so much I could puke. I told my mother, guess I'm not a lady then, and got several beatings with a belt for it as well, to "hush up my smart mouth". Mom was from TX.

(28,858 posts)Shed do it outside. Neighbors could not have cared less.
When my brother got big enough he took it way and said never again. And it was never again. But I missed the crosses leg thing.
I was told never wear red or black underwear. No black clothes.
For us, switchings were outside and spankings were inside but yeah, neighbors did not give a shit and did the same to their kids.
We continued to be spanked until we were in our our early teens. After we ran away at 17 & 15 the hands on punishment stopped forever because they knew we wouldn't tolerate it anymore. I also think dad finally realized he had brutalized us the same way he had been brutalized by his dad and was remorseful.

(1,580 posts)took the switch away from her. That was it. No more switches for the him, or the rest of us. It's odd, though. All of us were bigger than she was. Yet, until that day, we always "minded" when she sent us out for the switch.

(153,226 posts)the woman screamed it was none of my business, I said lady, children are everyone's business - spanking is one thing (I still remember the spanking I got when I was playing with matches and burned a hole in my dress) - but hitting with a belt, I think that is abuse

(153,226 posts)that's my favorite seated pose too, the one leg folded - I find it helps with my foot-tapping habit

I'm actually surprised that Trump allows his female interns to wear pants. They probably wear them for their own safety. It's a lot harder to grab 'em you-know-where through trousers.

(6,292 posts)cocktail dresses. Very few wearing suits. Their job is to be floozies? Disgusting and disrespectful to themselves and to us. But that's how T likes his girls. Stilettos and stupid frilly dresses.
Oh and they all have that same long hair that his women have.
Sexist and racist. They tend to go together.

(3,050 posts)How did all those women make Trump's intern team? I mean if are going to go blatantly all white, why not go all male too? Trump is Mister Half Way Measures any way you cut it.

White voters are turning on Trump, new data shows. Why now?
