Crush Fictionally

We Love Feminist Men! (ft. Anna Salinas)


Listen Later

We want feminist men! When do we want ‘em? Now! We are taking to the streets this week to declare our love for men who support women. Enter actor, writer, improviser, and fellow feminist Anna Salinas. Join us as we declare our love for fictional male characters who truly respect, fully support, and actively listen to their fictional female counterparts. This week we discuss why we are so drawn to nuanced characters, why there doesn’t need to be a romantic connection for a man to support a woman, and why a male character being a feminist might be the hottest fantasy of all. It may be a man’s world, but it means everything when a male character champions the rights, dreams, and successes of ladies on-screen.


Seeing women as equals and making us swoon this week: Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) of Outlander, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) of Mad Men, and Randall Pearson (Sterling K. Brown) of This Is Us.

This week’s small business shout-out: Semicolon Books (Chicago)
