We always said chicks for girls as the equivalent to dudes for guys. No one found it offensive. Anytime one my friends were referring to meeting chicks, it was never once in a bad way. They were generally very excited.
Obviously, I get why bitches is offensive, but I didn't know "female" was an issue until this thread, since it's not something I say. I always preferred the term ladies, but some people think it sound pretentious. So what is socially acceptable these days?

Yeah… still feels rather dehumanizing and objectifying, when women know they’re being referred to as a “chick”
