Since Tyra Banks' bastardized inception of the term into everyday housewife banter; gays have since denounced it. The only people that use it are middle school wannabees, straight women who think they're "down" and poser fashionista's. Anything that is to be considered "fierce" is pretty much mainstream to us gays.
Amy: "So what do you think of these Louboutin's?"
Sara: "OMFG, they are like, soooo fierce! They make your calves look totally skinny!"

Fierce is a word used to describe strong women, however it also infers that a woman isnβt acting as we expect her to. Fierce is a particularly problematic sexist term, as it is often reserved for women of colour and reinforces the βangry black womanβ stereotype.
Instead of calling her fierce, he called her strong, as that was exactly what she was.
