I first began to have my doubts about my womanliness when I read about the Wife of Noble Character written about (undoubtedly by a man) in the book of Proverbs. If you're not familiar with her you might like to read the passage yourself (it's roughly midway through the bible) but I wouldn't advise it if you're female and have anything less than supreme self-confidence and hold yourself in high esteem. Let's just say she is a paragon of womanly virtue and ability. You can see why I began to have doubts.
Then this very morning listening to the radio in the car I heard this little gem:
I fear it would be hard to under-estimate this woman's touch. As Willy Wonka sang in the next song they played, 'It's what you're not that makes what you are.'
Now excuse me, I must go and reupholster the sofa before I cook a cordon bleu dinner for my Lord and Master.

I suspect a tongue firmly in your cheek. I suspect you don't care two hoots about the absurd standards set by some Biblical character or famous actress. You'll just keep right on doin' your thang.
The times they are a-changing. There are other characteristics that the modern "worthy wife" must uphold and I am sure you have most of them covered. ("Worthy wife" is the translation that I remember, but I cannot find it in a search. I will go read Proverbs till I find it later.)
