At what point in their/her life does a woman become matronly? Is being labeled as “matronly” an insult?
I don't think of it as a particular age or anything - it's more of a mindset or attitude, like I know 23 year-olds that I might call matronly...and I don't really look at it as an insult personally, I think the 'insult' part comes from a society that prizes youth in women
