Stupidity #10
Some of you may remember my post about the use of the term “chick” when referring to a woman. One young lady mentions how she was upset when her boyfriend used that term when talking about a woman. The responses?
And I know women who don’t like it when women are called “girls.”Get over yourself – it’s just a word.
Just a word, folks. Words don’t help frame thinking at all. In fact, approach a person of color and call them a racial name—make sure you let them know that they shouldn’t be upset about it because . . . it’s just a word.
Whats wrong with the word ‘chick’? I don’t get why you women always make mountains out of mole hills.
Indeed. Stupid women with their “issues” and their “wanting respect.”
My chick doesn’t mind when I say chick. Nothing wrong with it, really. Unless you are ashamed of being female.
Yes, here we are again—back to the idea of what a “true” woman is. She loves to wear dresses, cook, clean, and she keeps her mouth shut. She adores it when her fella calls her pet names that sexualize her and downgrade her to the level of an object. Bonus points if she’s “hot.”
I’m a woman and even I use the term “chick.” It’s a WORD. Nothing to get all excited about.Put on your big girl panties and stop whining.
What is this I see? A woman unable or unwilling to think deeply about deeply ingrained ideas of sexism that exist in our society—which include language? Yep, that’s what I see.
it’s just slang….
i don’t know why it bothers you…just imagine him calling you a cute little baby chicken… they’re fuzzy and sweet!
Oh, yes! It’s much better to be excepted by those in power than to question them! Plus, society tells me that this word is a compliment so *giggles* this means that someone thinks I’m cute!
I’m w/*edited to protect the stupid *on this…don’t do the drama!
Yes, stupid woman. Obviously, since you’re a gal, you can’t have thought about this and come to your own conclusion about this insignificant issue—jeez, it’s just a word! Just another emotional woman wanting to create drama. Sigh. Crazy, crazy women.
This stuff really makes me hate people.
Shhhhhhhh!
Don’t tell my brother but I’ve found his Christmas present!
I can’t wait to see his face when he opens his present and sees this. He loves to blow stuff up—and now he can do it in the name of the Lord!
