ohh I see the male defaultism everywhere. I am a woman and work in a warehouse, it comes up often when all the folks (another woman in the warehouse with me) are referred to as “guys”. sure, most of the folks are men but still, it’s kinda disrespectful imo. but I saw a super clear example the other day watching a Cody Ko youtube video where Cody was commentating on, like, cringe podcasters or something. but there was a man who was addressing a 4 or 5 person group of only, all women. the male podcaster felt uncomfortable saying “hey women” or something and then chose “hey guys” instead. like, how more egregious can you get? they’re ALL women, and yet you think it’s a-ok to refer to them as “guys”. how hard is it to go to “hey gals” or “hey ladies” 🙄 as an aside, I hate when people say “men and females” like we’re a separate fucking species. I see that shit everywhere on less leftist communities, like reddit. haven’t seen it too much yet on lemmy but it’ll happen eventually as the site gains more users
this will be an exciting time indeed; I’m eager to see how this develops and Canada’s economy decouples from the USA’s and flourishes in spite of it
