Is Katie McGrath as Morgana in the Merlin series. She is stunning in every way - I love her 😍 Who is your female crush?

Lily James, especially in the Mamma Mia sequel! There are many, though, as a lesbian 😅

So some of you on here don’t believe that women who are married to men may also be sexually attracted to some women? Really?

Wow.

You'll be ok. Your guru of hate and misinformation will be gunning for the bisexuals as soon as she’s done with the asexuals. I knew it would come next.

OP, my first was Julia St John.

@Insomniapain and @Dangermoo take a chill pill dooooooods! 😎 No-one is forcing you to post on this thread.

I second Hannah Waddingham! Gorgeous woman! Smile

Oh so you are one of those posters who assumes because people express a different point of view from yours there is something wrong with them.

Do you feel threatened by people calling out childish behaviour?

You obviously only want to hear from other people who are similarly reliving their adolescence.

I’m not sure if I was crushing on these talented women or I just wanted to be them but it’s always been Michelle Pfieffer and Winona Ryder.

Being bisexual is a different matter, although this isn't the OP's intended direction. I think Anderson is a great actress- loved her as Thatcher and in the Fall. Does that mean I should reduce her status to whether I'd like to kiss her or not? She has my admiration but I'm not going to slobber all over her.

The OP is just asking for the women we have a bit of a thing for.

Kathleen Turner and Sigourney Weaver back in the day. Natasha Richardson and Kirsty McColl, bless their souls. Katharine Hepburn.

I think she is an attractive woman, and smart and funny, but she doesn't light my fire... 😀

DH has a couple of man-crushes. His taste is pretty decent.

I have a number of women I find extremely attractive; why is that an issue? Not everyone married to someone of the opposite sex is entirely heterosexual, Danger. Many of us are bi.

My DP also has man crushes too. I don’t see what the issue is.

I’m bisexual so my woman crushes are just normal crushes! But I understand the concept.

(also, crushes have always been discussed on MN, people don’t usually get so uppity about it though. It’s a normal part of life.)

I was once told the difference between a straight woman and a Bi, was a G&T, that's was back in the 90s though so probably get my hair pulled out for saying it now.

Have you watched the (absolutely delightful) film Pride? We all sing "Every Woman Is A Lesbian At Heart" from that all the while.

Ruby Rose is to obvious i know, but omg my mind, I was infatuated.

HairHeyHelp · 20/07/2025 19:28

Gillian Anderson who is old enough to be my mother. Or, slightly more age appropriate, Mae Martin

Fangisnotacoward · 20/07/2025 19:26

Eva Green

Gwendoline Christie
Cate Blanchett (specifically Galadriel)

Absolutely. Could you imagine men having a male crush. Lesbianism is still very much part of 'men's' fantasies; why on earth would we want to facilitate that. All childish bollocks.
