Want to note the distinction between the subjectivity of "Pretty" and "Woman".    (01)

"Pretty" has nothing to do with the "Woman". If (big if) we agree that
"Pretty" is meant to represent something that makes us feel positive
in some way, than we don't have to look at the properties of said
"Woman". I may think tall woman are pretty, someone else may thing
brunettes are pretty.    (02)

"Woman" has more to do with the properties of said "Woman".    (03)
