> women that get offended by it because they aren't male.
There are a few people who get upset over it or intentionally make a vocial issue out of something that isn't. ("Guys" is generally a genderless term ["You guys, take a look at this!"]
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI completely agree.
- geoka9 10y agoWould you be comfortable saying that to a group of females in a professional environment?
- monksy 10y ago"How are you guys doing?" Yep. It's the northeastern influence on my mannerisms.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI would be comfortable using, "guys" for females. I do it all the time. And I'm also female. However, I would not say that some people get offended by everything or that they are looking for things to get offended by - not in a professional environment at least. Though I believe it to be reality, I think saying this bit would cause more problems than the word, "guys". I'd also avoid the term, "guys and gals", but that's mostly because I dislike it, but that's just personal preference.
