Chicks?

I think "Broads" is more appropriate in this case.

FTFA:

"Sexist terminology is used militarywide and unfortunately, a lot of military personnel male and female don't call it out," she said. "They don't realize it's a form of sexual harassment. Women adopt these coping mechanisms where it's no big deal. Well, it is."

Really...so if a woman doesn't find a "derogative" term offensive then she has obviously developed coping mechanisms against such harassment to avoid the pain? Fark that, some women honestly don't care. I really don't care when my male friends are talking about sluts, hoes, biatches, skanks, etc. from their bar escapades or if they say to me "biatch, please". I can tell the difference between casually joking/conversation and when someone is being malicious towards me. It they are being malicious then it just means I find them to be a jerk and I don't hang out with them anymore. I don't need to go crying to the media that some words are inappropriate.

People REALLY need to start growing a thicker skin across the board. The adult world shouldn't be some glorified playground where we can't hurt widdle Timmy's feelings by calling him bad names. If you are acting like a dick, then prepare to be called on it. If a lady wants to call herself an Old Trou...who the fark cares?

/I think sammich jokes are farking hilarious

If they're offended by that then perhaps they're going into the wrong line of work?
