Gentlemen: Respect Yourselves

I was thinking-
if Hillary Clinton somehow manages to win the presidential election, she might inadvertently help American men be able to redefine themselves with respect and elegance not based in physical power, therefore allowing them to express themselves in a more "feminine" manner.

Bear with me-
If she is elected, they will have to come up with an equivalent "First Lady" title for the President's husband. Guys are all macho when it comes to this type of thing, and the only really equivalent title would be "First Gentleman".
Guys=Gals
Dude=Chick
Man=Woman
Sir=Ma'am or Madame
Gentleman=Lady

If men actually had to start addressing each other as "gentlemen" in public more often, both men and women might respect them more. As of now, I think guys are so busy being "macho", that the only common, publicly accepted forms of recognition for each other is based on some kind of power or force, rather than how respectful, kind, or dignified a man is. It's like those traits don't matter, as long as he can club something and drag it home.
You guys get no respect.

I never thought that promoting male self-respect would be a platform that I would consider voting for Hillary on, but I think it would be worth it if might somehow help men shed their self-oppressing patriarchy and allow them to express themselves as sensitive human beings.
