That after all is why the young lady wrote the article, and Clark-Flory's response is merely trying to tar her with that pejorative term.
Given that in our society women can still grow up with the impression that they are valued chiefly for their "wiles and charms", far be it from me to blame anyone for making the most of what she feels she has to offer.
That said, the following quote from her story pretty much says it all about this particular individual:
"I tried working, but in retail, surrounded by temptation all day, I spent more than I made. Waiting tables was exhausting."
It appears that the blue blood upbringing that imbued her with all those charms, expensive tastes and "class" left her ill-equipped to reproduce that life style any other way.
