A study by Mitchem et al. (2014) found that facial attractiveness and masculinity-femininity (facial sexual dimorphism) have heritability estimates of about 0.50–0.70 and 0.40–0.50, respectively. This indicates a substantial genetic influence on these traits. Interestingly, alleles that increase masculinity in males have a similar effect in females, and genetic influences on attractiveness are shared across sexes, suggesting that attractive parents tend to have attractive offspring of both genders (Mitchem et al., 2014).

This is a bit off topic but based on this the insight this suggests to me is that masculine women produce masculine / dimorphic looking sons which makes sense because if the woman is masculine it means she likely will produce higher prenatal testosterone in the son or daughter when she is pregnant. The allele that increases masculinity in men has the same effect in women so masculine women have this allele. It could also be that masculine women also have Chad dads and this allele that increases masculinity is passed to both the daughter and son.
Estimating the Sex-Specific Effects of Genes on Facial Attractiveness and Sexual Dimorphism - Behavior Genetics
Human facial attractiveness and facial sexual dimorphism (masculinity–femininity) are important facets of mate choice and are hypothesized to honestly advertise genetic quality. However, it is unclear whether genes influencing facial attractiveness and masculinity–femininity have similar...
