Re: That time that Ian McKellen hit on Andy

Excuse you, it's because he is open-minded! Black, white, Asian, old - he loves them all! Of course, he isn't saying that he disavows the various identity categories that shape women's lives (that's sooo dehumanizing), but he also doesn't fetishize women on the basis of those categories (hence one black woman, mentioned first to set the tone; one Asian woman, with an unmistakably Asian name so there's no confusion about her race, and mentioned last so that the list ends with enlightenment; three white women - because he's white - but two of those white women are legit senior citizens, because he is a wise elder goth). He is neither attracted to these women in spite of their race or age nor because of it. Twitter, I think you will find that his special and beautiful way of being attracted to female celebrities is, in fact, politically perfect.
