For baby chickens maybe! Or for the 'Feathered up and Feather brained'
fluffy bikini types! Maybe they'd think it was cute.
If you want us women on IDM to be called 'Chicks on IDM' what do you want
the lads to be called, Elizabeth, 'Cocks on IDM'? :)
Can't see the necessity for terms of gender distinction here myself, what
relevance does that have on email? and besides, you should hear the array
of words for women on the Surfing mailing lists and usenets that I have to
studiously ignore to get to the info I want! It's a bit sad really, in
flippin 1997!
