So if you point out that the jaw of every male in the room dropped when a woman walked in, it’s neither necessary nor helpful to describe her as “beautiful.”
This article on adjectives is missing the point. You should describe a woman as beautiful before you say a man’s jaw dropped. Because it didn’t. At best, he might have to squirm a bit to hide a growing erection. The adjective is not the enemy, it’s stupid expressions like “his jaw dropped,” “her eyes widened,” or J.K. Rowling refusing to say a character went for a walk and instead insisted each time they were going out “to stretch their legs.”
