        "Lads" is an appropriate, albeit very british, way of addressing men, which the poster above was doing. Why the noise?

        Why not address all readers, instead of only men?

        Apparently you can use 'guys' now instead

        The poster above was not addressing readers, but rather three specific people.

        Little disappointed to be so downvoted for calling this out; I don't really do it very often. Also a brit, but I didn't know that the others in the conversation were men. It's pretty easy to use `guys` instead.

        "Guys" is just as gender-specific as "lads".
        alexchamberlain 8y ago
        The defence was it was a Britishism, where guys is gender neutral.
        scrollaway 8y ago
        I don't understand your post/replies. Do you have a problem with people using britishisms? The "defence" spelling is also a britishism, so I'm not sure where you're going with all that. "Guys" is not any more gender neutral than "Lads" (they both are often used in a gender-neutral way, but they're etymologically male). "Folks" is what I personally use if I specifically want something gender-neutral, but "lads" is definitely appropriate if the author is speaking to men. Which brings me back to "this is a lot of noise for nothing".
