Will you accuse me (a man) of not being feminist just because I enjoy an occasional smile from a woman co-worker? I take the little pleasures life offers me unexpectedly, even if I can relate their causes to my sexual nature. I think that is not unconsistent with my view of myself as feminist. In all work situations, I will do the best I can to promote high quality in my company's product (and in my work life), no matter who smiles at me.
