Chafing At “Chick”
Chafing At “Chick”
By Madeleine Begun Kane
When a guy calls a woman a chick,
It strikes me as sexist and sick.
But my comments are tame;
Unless Richard’s his name,
I’m polite and I don’t call him dick. [tags]Sexism Humor, Feminism Humor, Men Women, Male Female Relationships[/tags]
I always wondered where the term “chick” came from?
I always associated it with Swinging London in the 60’s? Does anyone use it anymore?
How would you feel about a comeback of the term “tomato”?
I have no idea where chick came from. I still hear it from time to time, but it’s certainly not as popular as it once was.
Ah tomato — that’s one I’ve never heard except in old movies. Hey, I’ve fine with it coming back, so long as I get to call guys potato. :)
