Do women find it derogatory to be referred to as "a chick"?

I think I usually only use the word chick when I'm in the company of other guys. When females are around I usually refer to them as "the girls".

if i was just meeting someone i would never refer to them as a chick. amongst my friends, we refer to the girls as chicks all the time. they refer to themselves as chicks in certain contexts as well. if i come across a woman that feels "chick" is derogatory id probably use it more.
 
I refer to my wife as "Julie" most of the time...since that is her name. I usually refer to other women by their first name as well. If I don't know their first name I generally refer to people as dudes or chicks or "that dumbfuck" seriously, who gives a fuck?

I used to find it derogatory.. because I didnt use it much. Now I use it all the time. What I find derogatory - is being called a 'bird'. Yah, doesnt sound right to me. But I spose its just like 'chick'.. I'll probably get used to it.
