Learn about double standards. We're talking about 'chick' not 'cock' I wouldn't mind being called a 'chick'. Just because I'm a guy it changes to the masculine?Zannah said:

It's not offensive. anyone who is "offended" by being called a chick, is just a feminist out of control looking for a reason to argue and spout her feminist rant. A word is nothing more than a vocal medium to convey meaning, therefore it is the meaning which is important, not the word used to convey that meaning. Considering that most people use "chick" to mean a woman, therefore, it is no more offensive than the word woman. If it is used to convey a condecension, or an insult, then that meaning is offensive, but this is not a condemnation of the word in general. many "politically correct" words can be used mockingly or as an outright insult, that doesn't mean that the word is itself insulting.AvsJoe said:
Words are very much like ideas in that the only people who fear them are small minded people.
You've probably never heard of a woman being refered to as a 'slurry' before, either.Father Time said:
Am I the only person who uses the term "gal" or "gals"? I don't like using chick, and girl doesn't sit well with me, so I refer to them as gals.
When I hear 'chicks' I think of juvenile fluffy birds. I don't really use the word for anything else.
Considering some of my female friends call other females chicks, I think it's become too normal for it to be a problem. They don't seem to mind.
I usually say girl, unless I'm trying to be funny. Then I might use chick.
Never babes, though. Same reason that I don't call my girlfriend baby. It's so cheesy, even in joking.

It started as slang for a woman who has unprotected sex with different partners over a short period... meaning she was full of a slurry of cum.Dags90 said:
I tend to reserve "chick" and the like for a specific woman or group of women that I have little respect for.
More likely to use something like "dame" or "broad" in that kind of situation, though.
Otherwise, I usually say "lady".

But they do look like penguins! I know, I spent time living with some nuns!Dags90 said:
And as an ex-nun, I love referring to nuns in irreverent ways.
... sorry, that was off-topic. Here's the on-topic thought:
I think the offense or otherwise lies in the intent, not the word. So even harmless words can sound horrible with the wrong intent, just as what could be demeaning words can sound endearing or nice if used with the right tone.
Man/woman
Girl/boy
Guy/chick
It's just the slang term for women just as "guy" is the slang term for men. Neither are derrogatory and anyone that has a problem with it is too uptight and hug on political correctness. Besides, if chick is wrong to use, then they can't say "guy" either, and they all do.

I never understood the appeal of comparing girls to small fluffy birds. I'd find that kind of thing annoying.

That's much closer in my mind. Comparing animals to animals.
I say chick all the time. Hell, most of my female friends say chick. I see nothing wrong with it.
