do you work with any women or 100% men?

  Not OP, but I'm from the Midwest, and around here guys has always (and seemingly will always) mean a non gender specific group of people. It's a shame that folks see it as a micro aggression these days, as we really aren't being offensive with it. It's just really, really hard to change the behavior when most of the Midwest (women included) are still perfectly fine referring to groups of people as guys.

    If it makes you feel better, I have worked with lots of diverse groups and everyone understood guys as a gender neutral term. I think people are a lot meaner and nitpicky online than in real life

    Sometimes girls get bothered about being called dude or bro. For the former, I’m certainly not going to call you dudette. And it seems widely accepted that dude is gender neutral. As for bro … I can understand why it bother girls, but I always remember my close friend who says bro so much he frequently uses it even with his wife!!
