46. I find calling women "chicks" offensive.

It's men's way of reducing women to a thing, a little thing they play with. But it's you calling yourself a chick, so I guess you're comfortable with it. So, even though I think it's demeaning, it's your choice, so it's not something I would alert on or anything.
