Is the term 'chick' offensive to women?

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 😄

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

don't bother me! A guy can call me anything.. I don't care😄 bi*ch is a little offensive, to 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'
