"I'm a hot chick!" What the F*** does this mean...?
Advertisements [?]
Seriously?

I'm watching something on tv, that's been on for almost an hour. During the course of the hour, I've heard her refer to herself several times this way.

"Well, you know I'm a hot chick, so maybe she was threatened by me..." "He saw me--I'm a hot chick, he was probably interested, you know..." :wtf:

I would just think her insane but I've heard other young women these days refer to themselves this way, and young men (and older men, etc.) refer to women this way. If it wasn't for this, I would have just written her off as a shallow idiot--but since this seems to be a new 'understood' term, I thought I would ask here for others to weigh in on this.

While women that refer to themselves this way, obviously have no idea how it demeans them or our entire culture, what makes me angry is that she (and others) seem to think this is framing a woman in a positive light.

Where the hell did this come from? Am I the only one disturbed by this trend? Why are some women so comfortable with such a label?
