Taken from the term "prod femmes" in pre-revolutionary France, used to describe proud, wise and virtuous women. These days, it's more of a discriminatory word, stating that women could be "too" proper, too wise, and so on, especially when not interested in sex. It's also a word
men think they can use in order to get women to perform sexual favours with them, and in order to put them down a
notch - which is absolute bullshit. The word prude may not seem like a good term, but it in fact is a compliment suggesting a lesser ID and a higher intelligence and a stronger
will and confidence than most.
This is an excellent
definition which someone else posted but which I have tweaked to
fit nicely on mug. It was 2 words too long.
