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.

they aren't happy with who they are.
Permalink Reply by Jack Bauer on November 6, 2012 at 5:00pm That's more true of a lot of men that come here. Many -- though certainly not all -- do so to better themselves in some respect. The few women regulars we have around here seem pretty comfortable with who they are.

There are, in my experienced opinions, no comparable sites. All other sites are some combination of smaller, treacly, stupider, catty, uninformed, and I could go on.
So, the reasons for being here are the opposite. This site has tens of thousands of intelligent, direct, educated, kind, polite members. And a few misogynist exceptions.

But a woman clearly is a misogynist if she rejects identification with her own womanhood.

"rejecting" is not the same as "being confused about"
