The phrase “you guys” is as ubiquitous today as air and water. Generations following the Boom have used it to address virtually everyone, young and old. In past years, it would have been considered disrespectful, particularly in addressing those older than the speaker, such as parents and older consumers, and it probably just reflects the sense of informality and relaxation of etiquette so apparent in younger generations. But hurtful? Please. There has to be a more worthy “offense” to bitch about.

I remember a few years ago reading about how some kid in a public school got suspended for saying “that’s so gay”. So, I am not surprised to hear of this.

Where are all the leftist freaks who tape/sew their mouths shut when a Republican is president.
Ah, since they’re now in CHARGE of the intolerance, we are to tolerate only what they say we should.

“You bastards” works for me.

>>. Take time to educate yourself about language and histories of oppression.
It oppresses me to not be able to say “you guys” when referring to a group of people. These SJWs need to go find something productive to do with their time.
