Yeah - it depends entirely on context.
If it is being used condescendingly I dislike it - but then I dislike being called dear or love when it is condescending.
I feel slightly less tolerant of the more 'objectifying' terms (piece of skirt for example) but chick, girl, dame, broad and so on don't really bother me. Terms of endearment (honey, sweetie, etc.) are different - I sometimes think it over familiar, from both men and women - but then with some people it is clearly force of habit - like older women who call everybody 'love'.
Here* I often get called a 'gamine' - which I'm not sure I like at all:
gamine
Qualificatif populaire qui désigne une adolescente encore naïve, mais déjà assez espiègle et turbulente pour se donner des allures de stagiaire en féminité. (Translation: Popular qualifier which designates a still naive teenager, but already rather mischievous and turbulent giving the impression of developing femininity.)
Though actually that definition surprised me - because around here they use it for little girls too, from toddler age up, so the overtones of developing sexuality are not there. Or at least I fucking hope they aren't!
