Very useful article, it helped me a lot with these adjectives ^^
But I have to agree partially with Aegis. (If I understood well what he's talking about)
Reading over the text, she says for example: "You can see that this word doesn’t really have a positive connotation when used to describe women."
My answer is: No, I cannot see that. And there shouldn't be a negative connotation in using such a word for describing women.
I think that spreading this kind of ideas, even if she doesn't feel this way herself, it's not a very good thing... I mean, each culture imposes a pattern (how we should wear, how we should be, etc.), and I'd say that the majority of people has a tiny mind in a sense. But, I suppose that the less we spread this kind of ideas, the better the world will be :)
Even though it is sometimes used in the neutral tone, I think the article is correct in saying it's the 2nd tone. That is what my dictionary says. Anyway, useful article for me.
