Well as a woman of ATS and a woman staffer and a fellow conspiracy chic - im glad to have them represent me and ATS.
I know them on a ATS level and a personal level and there is nothing negative that can be justly said about them.
Applause to them!

If you cannot tell the difference between the casual use of chicks and using the word "chicks" in a patronizing way while demeaning the persons in the same line, then there is absolutely zero point in explaining it. That's not a double standard, that's a basic of comprehension skills.

My congratulations to both of our wonderful Conspiracy Chicks! Can't wait to see you all on the screen more and to see a large opportunity for the members to get their voice out to the world!

People are suspending logic in an attempt to defend something...and it is hilarious.
I think right now we're venturing into territory that hasn't been explored which is always a jar to our system. We're so used to seeing the Cronkites, Walters, and Blitzers and associating that with news that we don't expect a new angle. Furthermore, and as has already been pointed out, conspiracy shows are notoriously 'dark and doomsdayish' and male-dominated so I'm looking forward to being a part of something that can bring us the information without being depressingly standard and expected.

Who cares about the terms. Really. I am a strong woman and I am not insulted by the terms. I use chic all the time.
Watch it. Read their stuff here. Their intelligence and contribution to ATS far outweighs any terms being used.
Just my .02 from a woman's perspective.
Oh, and for the record, when you say that someone looks to be of low intelligence, and a simple sex object that is bashing, like it or not.
