St. Rev ☯️ 🏴 😻 added,
It's an ancient racket: Invent a new sin ('you guys') that the mark is already guilty of (because it's a common and perfectly innocuous expression), sell it with some pseudoplausible mumbo-jumbo ("some people say it's...")
Then you triumphantly sell the cure -- buy this prayer book/magazine article, say the prescribed incantation faithfully, and you will be forgiven. Maybe. This time. It's all more or less on the moral level of poisoning wells and then selling water, but it's a living.
On the other hand you just know there are probably some masculinists who are bent out of shape because the term “guys” is being eroded by common usage into a nearly gender-neutral term. So, shrugs, y’know?
Maybe, but they ain't getting published in the Atlantic.
Meanwhile, I started noticing "y'all" as shibboleth/tic like a year ago.
Well a few years ago there was an abortive movement telling people to avoid "y'all" because it was appropriating Black vernacular, but that was too absurd to get traction.
In the last year it's been very popular with woke types in the Northeast and Northwest, I think overtly because 'you guys' is misogynist (the argument of the Atlantic article) but covertly (and ironically) because it feels like solidarity with black people.
Desire for the Other is a complex thing.
