Years of being online, and discussing many things, I can tell you that there have been hundreds of times where a chick has messaged me offline to tell me how different they are. They even will rat out or throw their best friend under the bus. Surely they always will be critical of another not so close friend as well. It is not mean spirited, nor is it meant to harm I think. I believe it is just meant to show a connection, an understanding, a way of ruffling some feathers.
Yes I still get those who email me and say I should not use the word chick, but others who say it is cool. Actually some of those who say it is cool and OK to use, also are the ones who say they are different than other chicks. Some sort of coincidence I presume. I'm not sure.
So when chicks tell me they are different, it is all the same to me. I hate to burst their bubble, and I do realize everyone is unique...but when multiple people say the same thing, how is that really different? It's like 10 people who walk in a room with flower tattoos. The tattoos may be different, but they are still all flowers and still all tattoos.
[Side Note: For those of you who havent noticed, the blog has a new look. I am still tweaking it and hope to add more graphics, and some spice soon. There is also a donate button, if you are so inclined to throw some nickels this way. People have been asking me to add some share buttons, and once they come out, I will put them up too. Thank you for your devotion to this blog, for sharing it, for giving me your comments. I do appreciate it.]
Chick, it's just a term. You could use bitches, ho's, etc.... all derogatory. Chicks is NOT. All it shows is that there will ALWAYS be someone whining, no matter what you do or say.
