The choice was just extremely poor.
Beyond Ms. Jolie, general rule I've always found is to shy away from actresses.
But men don't, because they think like a man, not a woman.
You and others opened this door - definitely the _wrong_door_. ;->

Choose another celebrity, one with technical fluency.
You'd have to do some Internet research _regardless_ of their popularity to verify that.

Angelina Jolie isn't perfect, by any means, for my tastes. She enjoys the benefit of being well-known, however. Whatever women you're talking about would almost certainly have been unrecognizable by name to many list members. I chose a celebrity to reference BECAUSE SHE IS A CELEBRITY, and therefore it is a given that, if she were present (or even if someone that looked like her were present), she'd be noticed and would draw attention. You talk about making assumptions, and here you are assuming all sorts of things.
