Catherine Raine, a member of Cardiff Feminist Network, said: \u201cI think it is a load of rubbish! It seems to me to be yet another piece of nonsense designed to tell women that they\u2019re not good enough as they are and how they need to change if they want to impress men.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe asked Cardiffians to reveal their ideal partner.
