I am currently wondering: If I think: "Louise Mensch: so attractive but so evil" is this misogynistic?

I would certainly be capable of thinking this of someone male, but does the fact that she's a politician mean that I'm inappropriately sexualizing her? She's certainly a very attractive woman, and clearly presents herself as one. I'm also perfectly capable of thinking men are evil, and I don't think the fact that she's good looking makes her in any way less dangerous, or a less serious politician.

As so often is the case. It comes down to intent, conscious or otherwise.

for reference, if I was asked to name the top political movers and shakers I get

Cameron, Nick Clegg, Osama, Clinton, Thatcher, Tony Blair, Dubb'ya, umm, Salmond, umm, yeah, I'm not good with politicians.
