I’m lumping you in with a broader movement, it’s true, but I think it’s disingenuous to pretend like no one out there is trying to eradicate “guys.” Maybe you personally aren’t, but a lot of people are agitating for not using it preemptively because you might make someone feel excluded etc.
What do you think of the scenario in which you ask someone to stop using “guys” when you’re around, and they comply but think less of you going forward?
