A Final Question

Dear Diana, we'll leave you with this: If we truly believe both men and women deserve dignity, autonomy, and fulfillment - how do we create relationships where neither party must disappear for the other to thrive?

Redefining "Gentleman" for the New Framework

You ask whether GC's men can carry out a list of duties: never changing their partner, never mentioning money, always listening, doing things on behalf of her, taking orders but never giving them. Here's our honest answer: we don't believe this definition serves anyone - women included.

A gentleman in the emerging framework isn't someone who erases himself. He's someone who:

1. Respects his partner's autonomy while maintaining his own
2. Contributes equitably to domestic life without being asked to prove his worth constantly
3. Communicates needs and boundaries clearly and kindly
4. Listens deeply and also expects to be heard
5. Provides support without using it as leverage

Notice the pattern? These qualities require mutuality.
