First example of "badass" as a noun in the Merriam Webster unabridged dictionary is from 1991 and it describes a man. Not listed at all in the "Oxford Shorter Dictionary" from 1993 or Webster's Third International. https://t.co/WBjS3xCe8Q — PolitiTweet.org

When did "badass" become a gendered term?
