I have to say that the image you present of Southern women is somewhat true, but primarily among the lower classes. I am a Southern woman, as are all of the women in my family. We all (save one) have college degrees and have traveled outside the United States. Most Southern women are quick to anger and take no s--- from men. How we choose to deal with those feelings, however, reflects our social status and upbringing more than some generalized 'Southern' culture. The big hair, fingernails and male manipulation maneuvers are more prevalent in lower-class, less-educated sectors. I must add, though, that many Southern men expect women to behave as you mentioned. Those women unable to 'make it on their own' may be more pressed to act that way. It is not, however, the way that all Southern women act.
