I'd like to think of myself as a gentleman and I often end up acting more like a male, but at the same time I'm very happy/comfortable being a female.
In your opinion, can a woman consider herself a gentleman? Can she follow the guidelines of what it is to be a gentleman?
What exactly do you think? Yay or nay for the lady-gentlemen, and why exactly?
Edit:
By 'gentleman' I'm referring to the behavior, as in being polite and your mannerisms and such. Not so much what's in your pants, even though gentlemen happens to be a male pronoun.
And typically women who call themselves ladies are usually preppy and girly, I wouldn't say I'm extremely masculine but I'm certainly not girly.
This isn't about whatever gender I identify as, more so the general idea of women behaving as gentlemen.

If you are, or even if you're not, you can act the gentleman if you wish, it's up to you. Having said that I will tell you that when you act out of the 'norm' people often react in a manner that may distress you.

That's certainly possible, but it's an assumption you don't have enough evidence to make at this point.

Do you "know" that? Or is it that there are some aspects of gentlmanly behavior that she wants to emulate, maybe in respect to honor, as in "I'll be polite if you will but I'll kick your ass if you don't"? It sounds like, with her EDIT, that she isn't a girly-girl and doesn't want to be.
