It's a real fucking shame that the supreme Gentleman meme has ruined being a gentleman.
I can see how the cringe worthy mistakes of some young misguided boys are worth ridicule, but I feel like the meme has robbed a generation of a masculine, sophisticated, socially adjusted and wholeheatedly good role model. The idea of a man who dresses well, seduces nobility, can have a great conversation with anyone, hunts for fun, succeeds beyond expectations in his career, appreciates fine art and literature, is never embarrassed or embarrassing, upholds the honour in the family name etc, I really like this ideal for a man, it's confident, respectable and masculine. Now however the ideals male ideals are so single faceted, if a male ideal is even upheld.
The modern ideal is so vague as to include everyone, it ends up inspiring greatness in no one. It's not masculine, not feminine, not too smart, not too ambitious, it's just a contentment with common denominator achievements; go to school, get a degree (all degrees are equal), rent a room, get a job, get a mortgage, we all win!
