Getting Chicked
Even mainstream readers of Runner's World get outraged at fucker-think. Check out this reader commentary from the December 2010 issue.
"Including the phrase 'getting chicked' as need-to-know vocabulary in your Trail-Running Guide ('Say What?') legitimizes the idea that women are inferior to men and that getting passed by a woman is something to be embarrassed about. The phrase 'getting chicked' is offensive, even more so when the definition includes the objectifying language 'tough trail women wear skirts. And look hot.'"
