It's almost three years later, and

I have come to feel a strong distaste for adjectives preceding the word 'femme'.
  1. high
  2. completely
  3. ultra
  4. real
  5. true
  6. natural
  7. pure

I'm sure there are a few others that trouble me.

I understand that some members use those words as shorthand, but they raise my hackles.

What meaning are those adjectives intended to convey?
