Oh, I get it--it's because Adam was a male and Eve came from his rib..........
Either case, going back and forth with you on this is the same as going back and forth with macallan if you also fail to see the social significance of it all.

Because without a gender neutral term you have to choose male or female. In English you can say "They" in Latin languages you have to say "They-female or "They-male"
Saying "you guys" is casual, NOT Sexist.
See sexism where it's hurting something. If women are "invisible in society" due to saying "You guys"... it is not the men's fault.
