You understand you completely agreed with that guy, right? Why are you acting like you have any outstanding disagreements?
We actually don’t agree. If you would read their comments in other threads, you would know that they do not consider Americans to be participating in a democracy which is why they said that about Moldova.
Also, @Diva is clearly a she, as she gives her pronouns in her username.
A) Guy is a gender neutral term.
B) normal humans do not examine the entirety of a users comment history. In this thread you two have agreed that Moldova and america have the same level of corruption in their respective democracies.
Please do show evidence that ‘guy’ is a gender neutral term.
The dictionary seems to think it’s gendered.
Google it for people arguing about it in opinion pieces since before you were born. Hell I think this exact argument was on Seinfeld at one point. And there is no “the” dictionary, just as an aside. There is no single authoritative dictionary for any non constructed language, that’s the opposite of how language functions.
When exactly do you think I was born?
After the 1800s.
Well then do show this debated in, say, 1982.
brb going to ask my cishet male friend to tell me about that guy he just married
If someone addresses a diverse group as ‘you guys’ absolutely no real human being is confused or offended. If you are offended, step outside, get some sun, talk to a real human using your voice.
If someone asks a cishet guy how many guys they’ve been with do you think they’re going to say ‘oh I’m straight’ and possibly get offended, or just start listing all the girls they’ve dated?
Like I work 6 days a week, I’m outside plenty. I get misgendered enough to know what’s annoying to me.
If someone asks a cishet guy how many people they’ve been with, the cishet is going to correct to women they’ve been with, same with guys or any other gender neutral term that leaves the question ambiguous.
As far as your personal biases, I don’t care. At all, even a little. If you feel gender neutral terms misgender you, that’s on you. You actually are incompatible with the language you’re using and need to change.
Me:
You:
If you were calling me a person rather than a “guy” I would have no issue this whole time, notice how you just changed my wording to make your argument work?
I think I’ll refrain from taking English language advice, or life advice from you
I am calling you a person by calling you a guy, and I switched the word on purpose with another gender neutral term to emphasize the point, which you might have realized if you didn’t have a complex about it.
