It's almost three years later, and
I have come to feel a strong distaste for adjectives preceding the word 'femme'.
- high
- completely
- ultra
- real
- true
- natural
- 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?
