This
week Country Life wrote a post on 'How to be a Lady'.
Not
being a Country Life reader (I live in suburban Manchester), I spotted it via
this article in the Telegraph,
Though
I could go on to a rightfully angered feminist rant as to why it's ridiculous
to insist that a woman should be able to 'paunch a rabbit,
pluck a pheasant and gut a fish' but should allow 'men the privilege'.
Or indeed that she should be able to 'silence a
man with a stare and make a dog lie down with a hand signal —and vice versa',
or 'Never downs a drink in one, unless it’s a shot of tequila'.
But the piece in the Telegraph was followed up by
a second, that suggested that both How to be a Lady (and it's
predecessor, How to be a Gentleman, should be called:
'How not to
be a tosser'
We
agree. And so we set up Don't be a D*ck for everyone to add their own advice
and experiences of the modern 2015 world and it's gentleman, ladies, and, well,
people.
Starting
here, we'll offer our own advice, and yours, for the world to see and hopefully
learn how, not to be a dick.
We should just have a general 'don't be a dick' guide... https://t.co/lQ0dWb9lA1— Charlie (@The_Lady_Sybil) November 4, 2015
