Yesterday I went to a book store that I absolutely LOVE going to. It’s women owned and very much LGBTQ+ friendly and highly supports feminism.
I would consider myself to be a feminist.
So, I went in there around 6pm and just asked them “hey when do you guys close” since I wanted to get a book and wasn’t sure if they closed at 6 or 7.
One of the lady’s who worked there just stared at me and was like “excuse me? You guys?” And I was like “yeah when do you close.” At that point I kind of understood what I said but didn’t entirely see the issue until the worker told me “we are not guys.” I just apologized quickly and then looked for a book I wanted.
I felt bad but I have always considered the phrase “you guys” to be just a phrase. Should I not say that or? I feel really weird about it now because I say that all the time because I’ve never thought much about it at all.
