Why Be a Gentleman?

Above: Restroom sign. Snow Park Lodge, Deer Valley, UT. 10 February 2022 According to this sign, then, anyone who is a male is also a gentleman. There was once a time when the term "gentleman" distinguished among males. Not every male was a gentleman. Eroding, or eliminating, words which imply status, accomplishment, or moral character at some targeted level, has been part of the woke agenda for some time. I am amused whenever I hear a police spokesman talk about, say, an accused rapist being held in the municipal jail. "The gentleman" accused of rape was apprehended at 1:00 AM in the morning around the corner from the Buick dealership." The cops have become so afraid of criticism that they'll use the term "gentleman" to describe anyone, including a rapist. And so it is, also, in society at large. The term "gentleman" no longer describes an individual male as someone having, among others, moral rectitude, instead the term has been watered down to mean, just, "man." Why be a "gentleman" when the term has no meaning?
