Why does most of women's lib fit into these two main groups?

This brings up two very interesting questions. What defines a feminist, and what defines a gentleman? I'd like to answer these questions with a couple of anecdotes.

Last year, I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "Feminism is not a dirty word". That shirt was inherently hypocritical, because he was only wearing it to get laid. He was neither a feminist nor a gentleman.

In sixth grade, a girl in my class with the most notoriously developed breasts had her friend grab my hand and try to place it on them, but I resisted. The girl grabbing my hand asked me if I was gay, and I said, "No, I'm a gentleman. I'm sure _(left blank to protect anonymity) is a very nice girl, and maybe if we were dating and I got to know her...but I'm not going to feel up a stranger." As it turns out, there were about 10 girls in on it. Since I had entertained them the whole year as the class clown, they wanted to reward me by getting me to touch a boob, and they wanted to give me the best. Girls will be girls. Sixth grade was very good to me...and then it all went horribly wrong. Anyway, there's an example of gentlemanly behavior.

As someone who's done plenty of manual labor, let me say that feminism isn't necessarily a bad thing for guys. Let the women do some of the grunt work. In a civilized society, there's no reason why they shouldn't be treated as equals. That opinion makes me a feminist.
