Подонки остались, но где теперь настоящие мужчины?

Как это лучше перевести?

В таком контексте:
То была эпоха настоящих подонков и настоящих мужчин. Подонки никуда не делись, но где теперь настоящие мужчины?

Не, те падонки слишком ничтожны, чтобы о них говорить

There was an age of real scoundrels and real gentlemen. The scoundrels are still here, but where have all the gentlemen gone?

I can also suggest the words " the scum" and "assholes" :D

Why "gentlemen" not just "men"?

"Gentlemen" is used to show how nice the are, so "Real scoundrels" and "Gentlemen" are basically polar opposites.

Thanks you all, real gentlemen and Gerty :wink:
Just I didn't know English offensive words except for the well-know four-letter word and the word "bastard".

Yes, I meant obscene words. Should not it be Foreign Language 101 to learn all the possible profanities and their combinations? It is a scientifically proven fact that with very little of explicit vocabulary one can go far. I'll get a boot if I keep it up :D .
