Yes, purses/handbags are essential, never leave home without one.
Sit with knees as close together as possible or cross legs or cross legs at ankle or fold cross legged under chair. Never sit with legs apart, well in public anyway, even in a pair of jeans. Never sit with leg crossed at ankle over knee and hand on leg. If sitting at a bench don't drape arm across the back of bench. Arms crossed is fine.
When standing at a bus stop/ train station, never lean on posts or walls no matter how tired your feet are. Stand with legs together or only slightly apart with handbag over shoulder or held in hand by your side.
Can also stand with one foot pointed to the side, sort of like how ballet dancers stand.
Have good posture, don't slouch (easier said than done especially after a long day at work)
Never ever spit even if you think you can't be seen.
Never touch your crotch area or hitch up pants/jeans.
Wow, sorry if this sounds so militant.
Yikes!
I know of women who don't follow this kind of feminine conditioning, but they are rare. I also like to say I couldn't care less if a woman wants to sit spread eagle, spit and curse (they're cool and couldn't give a crap
) , but these gestures will make them stand out so if you want to blend in, you have to follow the rules.
