A general point and not meant as a criticism of you, but is there a gender-neutral way to express "This, of course, makes him a gentleman" as you use in your final paragraph? Or a clear female equivalent? It seems "This, of course, makes her a lady" does not mean the same thing at all, and an obvious alternative (either non-gendered, or symmetrical to "gentleman") does not readily spring to mind when, one feels, it ought to.
