[ohiosmith]

4. Thanks!

[Wait Wut]

5. Not at all.

I'm a chick and I hate most of them. Love Fried Green Tomatoes, though. The movie, not the actual.

[ohiosmith]

6. Thank you.

[geardaddy]

7. nope

[ohiosmith]

8. Thanks.

9. I do not find it offensive at all! I wish the movie

websites would contain a genre classification of "chick flicks". Somedays

I just want to watch something feel good and sweet...and that's the way

I find most chick flicks!

BTW: Never thought I'd be posting my 10,000th post on this subject!

[ohiosmith]

11. Thank you snappyturtle! Congrats on the big 10K.

[HappyMe]

10. Nope.

[ohiosmith]

12. Thank you.

[RiffRandell]

13. No--I use it all the time, and I am female. n/t

[ohiosmith]

15. Thanks.

[nadine_mn]

14. not the term, but often the flicks themselves

I also hate chick lit

sigh... I guess I need to hand in my ovaries.

[ohiosmith]

16. Thank you.

[RiffRandell]

19. Lol!

But if we could write "chick lit" we could make a ton of money!

[CherokeeDem]

36. You'll Have to get in line...

cause I have to turn mine in as well...

I don't like chick flicks....

[libodem]

17. No

Hell no!

[ohiosmith]

20. Thank you.

[Chan790]

21. No.

I love those things. Take a date to see one, afterwards as you're grabbing a snack, subtly touch their hand and tell them about some awful thing that happened to me. Shed exactly one tear.

Who's getting laid? This guy.

[ohiosmith]

23. Thanks.

[HopeHoops]

22. No. I LIKE chick flicks.

[ohiosmith]

24. Thanks.

[JVS]

25. Shitty movies is more to the point.

[ohiosmith]

27. Thank you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Not even a little!

It describes a certain kind of movie, after all...

[ohiosmith]

28. Thanks CP.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

29. No

In my experience women don't either. (although maybe "womyn" do...)

[ohiosmith]

30. Thanks.

[MorningGlow]

31. Nope. I write chick lit.

Without the designer handbags/shoes and outside of NYC, however.

[ohiosmith]

32. Thank you.

[Quantess]

33. My ex boyfriend called Brokeback Mountain a chick flick.

Is that offensive? I thought it was pretty funny.

To answer your question, no, I do not find it offensive.

[Brother Buzz]

34. "She Who Must Be Obeyed" uses the phrase

I'm just saying.

[one_voice]

35. I'm a chick...

I don't find it the least bit offensive.




edited to add: I use the term all the time.

[MiddleFingerMom]

37. I only watch "dude lewds".

[ohiosmith]

42. Hahahaha!

[NRaleighLiberal]

38. Nope, and neither does my wife or two daughters.

We use the term often.

[Bake]

39. No, I don't.

I find it to be helpful, informative, concise two-word review of movies I should avoid.

Except for Steel Magnolias. I loved that one ... (anybody got a Kleenex?).

[limpyhobbler]

40. nope.

Whatever the opposite of offensive is, that's how I find it.

[RedCloud]

41. Chocolate M & M taught me not to find things offensive!

You find me offensive? I find you offensive
For finding me offensive
Hence if I should draw a line on any fences
If so to what extense if
Any, should I go? 'Cause it's getting expensive
Being on the other side of the courtroom on the defensive
They say that I cause extensive
Psychological nerve damage to the brain when I go to lengths this,
Far at other people's expenses
I say your all just too god damn sensitive
It's censorship
And it's down right blasphemous
Listen to shit now cause I won't stand for this
And Chirs-stiff-pher Reeves won't sit for this neither
And let's clear this up too I ain't got no beef with him either
He used to be like a hero to me
I even believe I, had one of those 25 cent stickers on my re--frigerator
Right next to Darth Vader
And Darth must have put a hex on him for later
I feel like it's my fault cause of the way that
I stuck him up in between him and Lex Luther
I killed Superman, I killed Super--man
And how ironic, that I'd be the bad guy
Kryptonite: The Green Chronic

[AsahinaKimi]

43. No..

not at all...

[Shrek]

44. Depends on the context

If you're talking about movies, no problem.

If it's about women using boogers as projectiles, maybe.

[ohiosmith]

45. That's just plain nasty!
