She can, you can't. Similar to the use of "nigga" or "[black] boy"

It's a (short-term) tactical subversion move to reduce the power imbalance in cases of extreme sexism, but as a long-term strategy it is incapable of reaching equality.

Did I call her a girl? And as far as she's concerned, I'm allowed to call her anything I like (within reason.)

Granted, that doesn't mean I should.
