From my point of view, chick has been seen throughout history as a symbol for female empowerment as it were.

Which would you rather be called?


Actually, I couldn't care less when someone calls me a b!tch, when they do I just retort with "thanks", "I try", or "I think you may be on to something here, genius."

Really pisses people off sometimes big grin

The term chick might bother some woman, but it does not bother me.

i think it wouldn't have any specific connotation if people outside of New Jersey still used the term Cat-the male equivelant of chick

I don't find it offensive. People refer me as a 'chick' and I refer to other girls as "chicks."

it depends on how its used, and how well you know the people saying it/or youre saying it to

me and my friends use it, but if a strange guy called me one, i would grab the nearest blunt object and he would lose his balls almost instantaneously.

my boyfriend is stuck in the 70s i believe, he calls me 'his lady'
