I don't see anything wrong with smiling and kind words
in the workplace.  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.
