Not anymore. At one time there were concerns about a woman's virginity being in jeopardy if she rode straddle. Now days its hard to find the type of sidesaddle used back in the days. And side saddle on a regular saddle doesn't give you much control.Best to straddle the horse.

In the days of noblemen and kings and medieval knights, whenever a lady rode (a rare occurence) they would ride sidesaddle, probably at first due to the fact that they wore skirts.
In today's world, women wearing skirts to ride are a much rarer occurence. To day that it is 'ladylike' to ride sidesaddle is like saying it's 'manly' to hunt dragons.
But on a practical note, if you're wearing a skirt, it is somewhat necessary to ride sidesaddle.
Not that there's anything wrong with sidesaddle! It's perfectly fine, if that's how you prefer to ride.

It's definitely more archaic, and more lady-like back in the day! Now though, it's just kind of uncomfortable because we don't wear the big dresses that required women to ride like that in the first place.

Yes, it is very dignified.
Untill you fall off! Saddles today are not designed for ridding side saddle. . .
