    i don't think chicks is degrading. guys is a non-gender term for me.
     
  3. do you girls find calling you "chicks" degrading?

    or do you guys think calling you "guys" degrading?

    personally, i dont have a problem with it.. perhaps if members could answer these, we could come up with a sample to compare..

    I think "chick" is degrading. I don't really know why, it just sounds bad.

    I usually don't have a problem with it, but calling "hey guys" to a group of girls can upset me on a bad day. I am easily irritated LOL.

    And it has EVERYTHING to do with the context and tone...
