Some particularly interesting tidbits:
"A lady learns how she looks best when being photographed."
"A lady knows how to make others feel at ease."
"A lady graciously accepts a compliment. She does not downgrade as if she did not deserve the admiration from the other person or persons. She simply responds with, "Thank you."
"A lady knows that her posture is as important as any article of clothing on her back."
"A lady is mindful of her appearance at all times."
"A lady knows that 'please' and 'thank you' are still the magic words."
"A lady does not raise her voice when angry. It is only proper to shout at someone when he or she is in danger or about to score a touchdown."
"A lady does not lead men on."
"A lady stands up for herself and is never a doormat."
Perhaps, I've been referencing a lady all this time, not simply a "good girl." Good girls are not necessarily ladies.
