List of adjectives to describe a woman
Have you heard a male character described as feisty? All of these words once held harmless gender equal meanings, but have sadly now come to mean something rather different - usually negative - when applied to women. Groomzillas do exist you know. Commonly used in conjunction with PMS pre-menstrual stress. It couldn't be more timely either. Examining such a topic is difficult because of the subjectivity of the matter. What words do you think are beautiful? It's most commonly accompanied by a patronising tone and rolling of the eyes. Commonly applied to women who look 'flustered' and suggesting an inability to control one's emotions, or sexuality a la Marilyn Monroe's 'breathy tones'. Of course, an unpleasant male boss is rarely known as bitchy - although gay men can face a similar plight to women.
