Thanks for that - sometimes my over-enthusiasm makes me get a little careless on the language front.

I've always used kick-ass chicks as a general term to cover strong/awesome women so never considered the negative connotations that it might imply as a reference.

I also hadn't realised how privilieged the shortened settings-we-don't-see phrase sounded (and double thanks for doing the LJ post expanding on that!), when, yes, the intent was to encourage genuine diversity in subs.
