Although my online dictionary defines it's slang usage as a "young woman", one
must not forget that as we respond to the equalizing energies of the Aquarian
Age, that the term can be applied to both sexes.  I first heard it used in this
manner when reading my soap opera newsgroup.  One poster referred to a couple of
the actors as "real babes."  I found it quite refreshing.  After all, why
shouldn't men be known and appreciated for their beauty as well as women known
and appreciated for their brains and accomplishments.
