Oh my God, is that from the book "[link=http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Charm-Course-Students-Book/dp/0890815089/ref=pd_sim_b_5]Christian Charm[/link]? It was my health class "textbook" in 7th grade. If not, it's scarily similar.

ETA: In checking the TOC of the book, it is! Ahahahahahahahahaha!!

I'm totally jonesing for the lady on the left's handbag.

And the chick on the right dresses like Lady Lydia. Vomit.

I would love to see the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race act out these guidelines.

I loved this comment:

What is unchastity? The process by which Chastity Bono became Chaz?

:lol:

[MissA]

I hate "gawdy" makeup. Also people who publish books without any copyediting.

[miffy]

My feminine qualities far outnumber the 'unfeminine', yet i'm also a feminist. :lol:

[GolightlyGrrl]

What is Queen-like posture?

Is it this?

Or is it this?

What about this?

[AtroposHeart]

Ironically, I match more feminine qualities than masculine, but I suppose I lose points for being a fat woman and I LOVE my smutty books, in fact I write them. I guess that is two strikes against my femininity being fat and writing smut.

[Arete]

It appears I have more feminine qualities than unfeminine. :shifty: :shhh:

[VooDooChild]

False sophistication??? Is that even a thing?

[lemonhead]

OMG. I had to take this course in my fundy homeschooling adventures (the boys in our church took the "Man in Demand" class). This is flashback-worthy. Gah.

Suffice to say, I didn't meet the standards set forth in the workbook. By that point, I was looking for every opportunity to rebel as much as possible without provoking the threat of exorcism :roll:

I lose at "Don't sprawl like a floppy rag doll" in the how to sit section. That's my end of the day laying on the couch position!

For fun, I want to start walking like the second lady on top of the second page. She looks like she's dancing or pretending to be a caveman.

I thought that it counted as graceful as long as my butt didn't hit the ground when I go to sit in a chair. Obviously I was wrong.

Clearly, she is a John Cleese fan.

I can't figure out if "gawdy" makeup is worse than no makeup.

Before even focusing my eyes on the text I realize I look far more like the woman on the left, so I'm already doomed.

Then I see that femininity is about "abstaining from liquor" as I'm taking a swig from my beer, I'm doubly doomed. Mannish attire? Yep. But my clothes are certainly not revealing in the slightest, so maybe that's a point in my favor? I have a short hairdo (done at the barbershop even) but it's clean, where does that fall?

"False sophistication?" Ha. I'm all real sophistication, don't you forget it either :D

Yeah, I shave my head so I feel like I automatically lose all these femininity tests. Though I'm growing it way out to about an inch and a half for winter because it gets sub-zero (F) here and I don't like my stubble sticking to my wool hats.

Me as well (head-shaving) although mine is an #2 cut and it sounds like yours is an #1 or no guard, which is nice 8-) I can't get away with it as when my hair is that short I look like a wee baldy egg, but I am jealous of those who can!

Looking at that test, I fail at femininity. SRSLY. Last night I went for a couple of drinks with a comrade and I think I did all of those sins apart from the sex ones. (and the smoking ones, but whatever).

I do the no guard for a while in the spring and summer (and then have to spray my head with sunscreen), but it's a #5 in the fall and winter. I might go with a #2 or #3 next summer because I finally got an awful peeling sunburn this past July and I am not eager to repeat that.

What if your short, mannish haircut is also soft and clean?

[singsingsing]

Sluggishness... an ungainly walk... sprawling in chairs... I'm doomed!

Me too, singsingsing!

[Hane]

What's up with that shizz about holding your hands behind your back instead of at your sides? Is it supposed to make you look all helpless-little-girly?

I have short arms and a big bust, and that posture would make me look as if I were emphasizing the grandeur of my rack.
