If her pores even opened a little bit she freaked. I really don't get that - maybe it's how certain women were raised???
I don't get it either...but you're probably right that it has something to do with how they were brought up. They were probably taught that it's important to look "pretty" and put-together at all times (more important than being strong and capable) and that being sweaty and disheveled isn't "ladylike". Some people's priorities are a bit off.
