No, actually, how about the entitled, woman-resenting manchildren who seem to infest both meatspace and cyberspace take responsibility for their own fucking actions for a change, and the "traditional values" numpties/Reader's Digest subscribers who burble these kinds of pieties actually pressure THEM to do so instead of blaming women for the men's behavior?
(Typical would be this tool — warning for shitty music autoplay — whose "About" page includes this splendid advice: "Never allow yourself to be made a victim." Gosh! Thank you for your words of wiz-dumb, 18-year-old xtian fundie d00d!)
I hate, absolutely despise, the words "lady" and "gentleman" as behavioral prescriptives. Every woman I've ever met who ostentatiously simpered about being a "lady" was a roaring bore who got her jollies from policing the behavior of other women. Every man I've ever met who loudly announced that he was a "gentleman" was a puffed-up sexist shitpeel who believed he was owed endless groveling and blowjobs for ... being "nice" to women. And the announcement is not infrequently made in the following context: "If I weren't a gentleman, I'd have decked that pushy bitch/uppity cunt/skanky whore like she deserved."
I am not a lady. If your reaction is, "Yeah, no shit, bitch," then congratulations on achieving total recto-cranial inversion. You are officially too stupid to read my DW. And I don't have any use for "gentlemen." I want to deal with grown-ass men who don't whine and clutch their pee-pees when women don't fawn over them — or do worse.

The reality is that if women sat down and waited for men to step up and "be gentlemen" in the sense that this piece of excrement means it, we'd quickly find ourselves not seated in our chairs, but lying on the floor being doormats.

Nevertheless, "proper" behaviour standards are still a comprehensive schedule for social control.
