Go somewhere public and call a girl a chick, see what happens 😂
Seriously though, it’s not the word that’s the issue, it’s the labelling of someone based on their gender. I can’t speak for the bottom line as I don’t appear to be a woman, but I’d start getting fucked off if a generic term was used to address me when I had a perfectly good name.
In the UK, an equivalent is “bird”. Equally likely to get you booted in the balls.
Yeah, I would advise using against using it today. Like, I said, old timey. Not as acceptable as it might have been in decades past.
I’m middle millennial and consider it flippant at best. Like “chick flicks” and “chick lit” are seen as less serious/valuable/artistic than media intended for men. “Hot chick” as a way to value/devalue a woman on looks alone.
Why would chick get you slapped? Growing up that just meant girl. No connotations
Lots of things get you slapped now that wouldn’t a couple decades ago.
But honestly probably should have gotten you slapped.
Chick is a very belittling term for a woman.

It feels kinda like you’re objectifying them. Really depends who you use it with though, like all words.
