What some people don't seem to understand is that if you've grown up in certain parts of the United States, you do not see "guys" as a gendered word in the first place, so how can you be erasing women by using it? To us, it is simply a word for a group of human beings, regardless of sex.
This circle is for videos relating to anything and everything feminist or women-centered. Content creators themselves don't necessarily have to identify as feminist, but the content of the video must be broadly perceived to be feminist. Videos by male content creators or declared antifeminist content creators will be held to higher standards and may be removed at the discretion of the moderators to maintain the pro feminist intention of the circle.
Rules:
Relevance: Women's issues should be the primary focus. (videos about animals, diet related issues, etc. will be removed even if they involve gender)
Formatting: Do not change the title of linked videos. If you would like to provide some commentary on the video and/or why you posted it, please do so in a comment.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the video, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.

That’s interesting.
So, in conversation with someone, when you’re referring to a woman, you would call her a “guy”?
I’ve lived a long time andknown people from all over the US, and cannot recall a single instance of anyone doing this.
