I don’t know, I think most of them are very believable. A lot of those women are both totally gorgeous and incredibly talented, and I have to say most men I know are much more into some of those examples than nameless underwear models. I can see women my own partner, my brother and my brother-in-law all are known to have crushes on in that list (suspect my own partner may have tweeted Sharon Horgan as his suggestion
). I don’t think fancying Gillian Anderson is at all an attempt at being feminist!
I don’t know about you, but my answer wouldn’t be Brad Pitt or similar either. It would be Louis Theroux. I don’t think that’s anything to do with virtue signaling or pretending looks don’t matter, but rather placing importance on other areas as equal to, or higher than, appearance.
Different strokes for different folks, innit? I don’t doubt a lot of the men who follow Caitlin are virtue signal types who largely misunderstand feminism, but I also don’t think there’s anything unusual, or progressive, at a man choosing Nigella over a Victoria’s Secret model.
