ken@ihuxq.UUCP (ken perlow) (12/22/83)
Is there a good, non-sexist, generic equivalent for the word
"gentleman" or its adverb, "gentlemanly"? "Honorable" is
about as close as I've come, but that's not quite right.
I don't expect to find a synonym too easily, as the word
"gentleman" is, by definition, sexist.
