Who calls women chicks?
What kind of men?
What do they mean by it?

There are books which I understand as ‘chick lit’ – usually concerned with the men who call women ‘chicks’, finding the right shoes to attract them and then talking about them with their chick friends. Funny, often wise, happy endings, bikini waxes and handbags.

So am I alone in minding when any book written by a woman who isn’t Iris Murdoch or JK Rowling is described as ‘chick lit’?
