Can femininity be used to manipulate others?

"Be a Lady They Said" delves into the intricate world of social expectations and personal identity within the confines of a prestigious school for reformation. In this elite institution, where the offspring of the wealthy are sent to refine their manners and behavior, our protagonist, a spirited young woman from Japan, finds herself at odds with the conventional notions of femininity.

Raised with a passion for boxing, she grapples with the pressure to conform to traditional gender roles imposed by her conservative parents. As she navigates the intricacies of the school's strict regimen, she forms unlikely alliances with two fellow students, each harboring their own secrets and motivations for being there.

But she found out a secret, a secret about herself she didn't even know she could have.

Amidst the rigid expectations and stifling atmosphere, forbidden emotions bloom when she crosses paths with a young man from the esteemed gentlemen's school. Their clandestine romance unfolds against the backdrop of societal scrutiny and familial disapproval, testing the boundaries of love and loyalty.

"Be a Lady They Said" is a poignant tale of resilience, rebellion, and the quest for authenticity in a world that demands conformity. It challenges the notion of what it means to be a lady and celebrates the courage to defy expectations in pursuit of self-discovery and true love.

[COMPLETED] "If you're going to do something, do it the lady way." Straight forward, gracefully , not letting anyone in your way and keeping your eyes on the goal. That, my friend, was the lady way. Jun Takahashi comes from a small family that people at Ouran would consider 'poor'. Her mother always taught her growing up to do things the lady way, which was to still act like a lady but be dominate and not let anything stand in your way. Be aggressive, yet graceful at the same time. Be a lady but take charge like a man would. As her mother gets more ill, she only wishes for the best for her daughter and her older son Kyo. The siblings decide to try and get into Ouran High School for a better life but Kyo shakes his head at the idea of her going to Ouran, stating that she's just a fragile little girl and would break under the pressure of such a school. He says that she wouldn't make it through the year there, even if she was a boy. Neighbors agree, friends agree, her father agrees, grandparents agree and heck, even the pets could agree at this point. Deciding to prove them all wrong - she takes charge. Doing it the lady way, the unisex name changes from Jun, a female to Jun, a male. Dressing up as a boy and getting into Ouran. It wasn't all that hard, until she bumped into the host club. Accidentally breaking a statue that was on display in the music room, her families debt gets deeper. Yet again, she takes charge and does it the lady way, agreeing to become a host to get her and her family out of this debt, and show her brother that she can do this too. The thing is, she came in as a boy and that's what they'll know her as until the day comes when they all find out. No matter what, she'll continue to do it the lady way.

The Fun In Being Bad

38 parts Complete Mature

A story about three elite kids who seem to have everything in life. But is it really what it seems to be? Get inside the life's of three bestfriends as they take you through the ups and downs in their life and maybe even make you look at the world a different way. . Excerpt from the story: I don't understand how a person can look so sad and calm at the same time. Isis leans back and sighs 'What your friend said was right...' 'What?' 'The part where he said that I am a mean b*tch. And that everyone in school talks about me behind my back...' She continues '...I know people call me names behind my back. I know that if they could, they would burn me alive' she chuckles as if it's something funny. 'But do you know why I still am what I am?.....it's because I don't feel like smiling in front of those fake people. I won't ever go out of my way to keep them happy. And honestly every person is like that, everyone is selfish. Me too. Everyone will only try to please you when you have everything. The difference is, I show my bad side and they don't, they are good at hiding. But it's okay I don't want to pretend to be good...' . Not at all a cliché story. #484 in feminist 21/02/20
