Real gentlemen are the thing of the past

Nowadays we can everywhere hear this really popular phrase from lone women or weak men to acquit their bad private situation or sneaky deed. Usually people use this statement to describe moral dignities of the past. I offer to think about this determination and find out if it is true or false.

First of all, it goes without saying that many priciples since, for example, 19 century, changed a lot and, to be honesty, now there aren't any strict rules and fear of breaking them. Men used to be really ideal: gentlemen according to women's opinion used to be physically strong, used to be very intelligent and have high mental principles. So, we have an example of ideal man like Zarathustra. But I am convinced that it is impossible to be without any drawbacks and “the real gentleman” means example which every man has to follow. Nowadays there are real gentlemen too, but there is no cult about these words. Moreover we don't have to forget about ladies and strict tenets they should follow.

In conclusion I'd like to say again that it is the statement is absolutely incorrect and we don't have to care about it. It is impossible to be an ideal person, but, obviously, we should have moral limits and follow them.
