Is it offensive or annoying to refer to women as 'chicks'?

[Still-alive]

Do y'all care if we refer to you as 'chicks'

Yeah its sexist!

It's not bad but can be annoying

I actually like being called a 'chick'

I just don't care really.

As long as guys don't complain when I call them "dude..." it doesn't upset or offend me!
Now if it's used in a derogatory or rude way? I'll knock some sense into you... male or female. But overall, no it doesn't phase me-

I guess it takes more than being called a chicken to offend me 🤷‍♀️

[Cynicaldreamer]

😂
Off topic, chicken sounds good right now

[valentina4eva]

being called a chick is not offensive🤷🏻‍♀️ there are plenty of worse ways men refer to women these days😵😵

[Nikki1989]

Everything is offensive these days. You should see the amount of tame comments of mine that have been removed on here for being offensive.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It heavily, HEAVILY depends on the context in which it’s used. Like I wouldn’t care if someone said something like “Chicks are all the same.” Yeah, that’s pretty sexist. Or if someone said “You are one hot chick!” That’s not as bad. It’s not an inherently sexist term, but it greatly depends on how it’s used.

[Miristheiss]

Only to miserable people with no sense of nuance, no sense of humor, no easy going way about them at all.

Those that love strife and love to be offended and who always look for some hidden slight to be enraged about will definitely find offense. Usually those types look for offenses and will find them everywhere.

[love_conquers_lust]

They’re soft. Sit around sleeping, eating, cold and always seeks warmth, chirping constantly, freaks out when you touch them without warning, will get comfortable if you handle them gently, so comfortable they’ll shit in your hand, and I guess…adorable. Pretty apt.

[convo_king89]

Not sure we’re that came from, but it just mean woman and nothing else. Depending on the context if you over generalizing and stereotyping into one group I can be. Grouping them all into one thing like he can do the bbq and chicks can do the cleaning.

[Bilboes]

Nah, not really.. As a woman, I use this word too. As long as you're doing it ironically, it shouldn't be an offensive word.

[Pudsmucker]

This is one time I wished I would be able to change my response. My phone jumped and I hit the wrong tab for voting.

I do not care how women are called. I've stopped calling them chicks after I graduated from college.

[menina]

It's not bad, but it's annoying. It sounds like they don't take women seriously.

[HelpfulWoman]

it depends highly on context. in itself, it's just a word.

[strateguy632]

but if depends then due to the other words not due to chik. it is a common word even the chippettes sang it "you change your mind... like a chik i would know"

[HelpfulWoman]

@strateguy632 no, because plenty of men will use "chick" how they use "female", as a way to belittle the woman as if its a slur. so the word itself's context is incredibly important.

[Brady]

Depends on girl. In 9th grade a girl asked me how I was doing. I said like s---. She asked if I said "fine chick". She knew what I said so was just kiddin.

[fonduegirl]

It's not.

But since it's mostly used by misogynists — it can come off that way.

[Likes2drive]

It’s probably no big deal, but I often wonder where the term came from

[llorando]

As I guy, I can confirm I just don't care really.

[Minahh]

I only take madam/lady 😌 yeah it's weird like what are they? They're cocks then

[Charliefretz329]

Sometimes they are chicks 🐥, sometimes a full chicken 🐓… 😏

[Apple1996]

I'm a chick 🐥

[Still-alive]

chirp chirp

[whistlingwh0res]

because you don't understand that everything is about money = cock

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Doesn't bug me.

[Simslover92]

It doesn't bother me at all.

[artgorgeous]

Chica in Spanish = girl.

[Catarine]

Chick is a positive term

[Koneko911]

I do it all the time so

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Don't sound bad to me

[Sparkie460]

I've never referred to a woman as a chick.

[butterly248]

I don't care but some people do

[clampfan101]

It sounds a bit immature, but not offensive.

[dragoblack]

It's 1950s slang for women

[Smashingdoozy]

Nah I don't care

[dolemite58]

i always liked skirts or clams 🤣

[thegreenyogi]

Not really.

[SadHopelessRomantic]

"sup chick"

I Like It
