It is drilled into society that 'ladies' sit with their legs crossed. I have met lots of women who weren't ladies who crossed their legs though.Plus if you are wearing a short skirt it doesn't give someone the opportunity to look at your goody.

Because it's drilled into us since we were little to keep your legs closed. I don't want someone sitting across from me having everything out there for everyone to see (especially if they are wearing a skirt!)

I think it's just for comfort, but it's more lady like to sit with your legs slant/ sideways at the edge of the chair with your back straight.

because when you sit your legs cant be wide open (that's not a proper thing to do) so crossing your legs would keep them closed ..ok

I do it when I'm wearing a skirt. Just like a habit I guess.

It looks good but it causes your blood pressure to go up and that's not good.
