You seem to be just focusing on the outward on this issue ... standards is part of the equation .... but do some of our male-dominant conservative views on the home add to the consternation some are feeling????
Definitions of dour on the Web:
s. A foray, or a hasty expedition of any kind. H. daur, ‘a run.’ Also to dour, ‘to run,’ or ‘to make such an expedition.’ www.bibliomania.com/2/3/260/1271/19991/1.html
dogged: stubbornly unyielding; "dogged persistence"; "dour determination"; "the most vocal and pertinacious of all the critics"; "a mind not gifted to discover truth but tenacious to hold it"- T.S.Eliot; "men tenacious of opinion"
harshly uninviting or formidable in manner or appearance; "a dour, self-sacrificing life"; "a forbidding scowl"; "a grim man loving duty more than humanity"; "undoubtedly the grimmest part of him was his iron claw"- J.M.Barrie
dark: showing a brooding ill humor; "a dark scowl"; "the proverbially dour New England Puritan"; "a glum, hopeless shrug"; "he sat in moody silence"; "a morose and unsociable manner"; "a saturnine, almost misanthropic young genius"- Bruce Bliven; "a sour temper"; "a sullen crowd" wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Medicine talking again, Ferd?
Or did you not read his initial post where he said SOME apostolic women and not ALL? ...and even included quotes form a REAL Apostolic woman, Sis Alvear, where she made the same observations?

Some are dour looking but I don't see why they're singled out when many other women - Christian or not - are also dour looking. I've served a few of them already today and they're NOT apostolic.
So what's the point really?

1. Marked by sternness or harshness; forbidding: a dour, self-sacrificing life.
2. Silently ill-humored; gloomy: the proverbially dour New England Puritan.
3. Sternly obstinate; unyielding: a dour determination.
no - but I know of which you speak - and it's ignorance, plain and simple.
Sometimes, the look is one of self-righteousness.
