Here I will define gentleman in a generic sense. So yes, ladies, you can self-identify as a gentleman (in this context) and still be a lady and a female as God made you.
Polite and civil behavior seems to be out of fashion today. However, I don't know precisely when manners became passe.
An especially disturbing trend is the common acceptance of profanity. Not only is it unbecoming, it just shows a lack of intelligence as well as good breeding.
Rudeness is rampant in 2021. That can't be a good thing for our society.
I grew up in Appalachia in a small industrial area it wasn't around a very sophisticated society. However, we were instilled with rudimentary manners. Howbeit we were not well-bred in the customs of polite society.
I am reading about and studying gentlemanly manners and hope to be a polished gentleman someday. But, in the meantime, I'll stick to being a nice reformed red-neck.
