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

I thought this was Mumsnet.
Not a forum for 12 year olds.

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.

Yes I don't understand what seems to be a deliberate campaign to undermine women as women.
Adult women talking about " crushes" as though they are teenagers.
Adult women referring to themselves and other women as " girls". As though they are frightened or unwilling to view themselves and other women as adults and actually equal to men.

What? Of course straight men can and often do profess to fancying the occasional man. Do you live under a rock?

It's in AIBU so it's been answered. Why does this silliness always come up? If you want to idolise celluloid characters, I'm saying you're being unreasonable. Isn't there a fan board you can post this shit on?

I find the term female crush as nauseating as bestie.

Hubby. I can't stand it. So needlessly smug.

What the fuck are you on about? My straight male, grown ass counterparts in their 40s.

If you don't understand, that's ok. But no need to come onto this thread, attacking people for absolutely no reason.

What has me wanting to kiss Gillian Anderson got to do with you??

Is it about insecurity?

I'm not sure what a "crush" actually means exactly. But I have been so overwhelmed with admiration for someone like Kathleen Stock before I have started to question my sexuality. I'm straight though, and I don't see how this can arise from insecurity?

Good grief. Don't stay on this thread then if it bothers you so much! Why are you being so rude and snippy? Why does this bother you soooooo much? 🙄

I will post wherever I like, so quit trying to tell me - and other posters - what to do!

Do you understand the purpose of AIBU? I'm not going to agree because I think it's the trend. You want to kiss Gillian Anderson? A thing that will never happen but good for you.

Exactly. I'm not engaging anymore with this poster - or the other one. Wink

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.

Eva Green

Gwendoline Christie
Cate Blanchett (specifically Galadriel)

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

pinkglitter12 · 20/07/2025 19:28

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