Hey You Guys!

Having gone to a women's college and NOT a girls' school, I did get very sensitive to how women are addressed. Especially in an all-female world.

But guys always seemed preferable to girls, the worst of the worst. But an article in today's Alternet makes a decent point that actually, guys is one of those catch-alls that really isn't.

    mm, that'd be a fun theme to explore in some short-short stories. perhaps over vacation?

    I stumbled over here on a link from alternet, you've got a wonderful tone to your writing. It clicks very well with me. I like your humour.
