    Last time I checked, Wanda Sykes and Leslie Jones were black and comedians. Seems like a bit of an oversight to omit them at the beginning.

    Apologies, I tried to post this earlier and it didn't go through:
    I agree entirely. Chutzpah is and should be gender-nonspecific. My comment was merely a grammatical quibble based off of the writer's submission.

    For what it's worth, I totally agree with you. I was more just making a grammatical quibble with the original definition. IF we're going to coin 'clitzpah', I think it means, functionally, female chutzpah. But I think that chutzpah is and should remain gender non-specific.

    Shouldn't 'clitzpah' be defined as 'what a woman who has chutzpah has'? Because 'a woman with guts' means that one would say, "You are clitzpah," which is, at best, not euphonious and, moreover, confusing and, thirdly, Klingon-sounding.
