Do we still do that reddit thing here where we assume everyone is male?
That's not a reddit thing.
Just except that many idioms and job descriptions that use to be gendered will become gender neutral.
No assumption of gender, I was just going for the "Fuck it, we ball" rhetoric. I'm sorry if I made you feel excluded.
Your comment is a Twitter thing
I think girls don't really care or they do? Because I use 'bro' talking or texting to a girl.
for the downVoters
why defend defaultism or sexism? It may sound harmless to you, you may be used to it, but "alright boys" is exclusive and not, like some need to claim, a default greeting.
older women don't care, they're used to men being dickheads, but not being recognized hurts girls
alright girls, (that by default means you boys🤯) you can downVote this comment to hell now
Since when "boys" means only males 🫤
Since English became a language and started using the word boys
if boy already meant what it still does in proto-Germanic, the response would be: since at least 2500 years ago
