Public university warns against saying ‘you guys’.
-CollegeFix: The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual Resource Center at the University of California Davis warns that some “words hurt” — including the expression “you guys.”
That common phrase is among a list of “Words that Hurt” detailed on the public university’s website. The expression “hurts” because it “erases the identities of people who are in the room” and “generalizing a group of people to be masculine,” the website states.
“Sometimes we say words without realizing the impact they may have on others,” it adds. “Take time to educate yourself about language and histories of oppression.” MORE
SNIP: Now, what do you guys think?

I’m from New Yawk. That’s what we say. Get ova y-selves, asshats.
What do I think. I think a group of candy-asses who are hurt by the word “guys” can go fuck themselves sideways with a rusty chainsaw.
See the difference? THOSE are hurtful words.
That chart is pretty gay
“words hurt”. Yeah but not as much as calling a group of crips “Hey Fags” would. UC Davis, what a piece of work. I wonder if any straight people have challenged their exclusion from the “The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual Resource Center at the University of California Davis”? I mean isn’t it discrimination in the worst way to deny the largest segment of the population that represents all colors, creeds and races admittance to a University supported group?
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words hurt even worser!
Snowflake kids.
As usual, the liberal one way street showing its true colors:
My list of ‘Hurtful’ words?
Cops are pigs
Obama
Clinton
Terrorists
BLM
Cracker
White privilege
I’ll stop, there are just too many.
I don’t think they will be happy until everyone is mute and illiterate.
No problem. I’ll just refuse to speak to someone I “decide” might get offended.
If they complain… “I’ll suddenly “no comprendo”.
I was listening to a female talking head who mentioned that another female talking head “had balls.” Uh, no. I understand this comment was meant as a compliment, but females don’t have balls.
Otherwise, carry on.
I forgot: CNN-Clinton Nullification Network
MSNBC-Miserable,Sons-of-Bitches
National, Biased,Clintonbots
Hey you guys, go eat shit and die.
Is that any better?
I here “yous” as in, coming with, ate yet, goin riding, got beer, and such. Just ‘yous’ not ‘you guys’ because thats talking too much.
why? because “hey you bunch of candy assed pussies” is taken?
Would you rather be called a “hurtful” word, or would you rather be tied to a chair and beaten with a truck antenna?
Would you rather be called a “hurtful” word, or would you rather be water-boarded?
Would you rather be called a “hurtful” word, or would you rather be slowly hanged with piano wire?
Would you rather be called a “hurtful” word, or would you rather have to pay taxes to support a bunch of illegal alien invading rat-people?
Would you rather be called a “hurtful” word, or would you rather have your country overrun by a horde of feral izlamic savages?
Put it into some perspective you wimps, sissies, and faggots.
izlamo delenda est …
I just laugh at people like this. And of course don’t associate with them – who would want to?
As Pigazette website said, many moons back when they first started, “words are merely vibrations in the air, with no power to hurt, except in your own fevered mind.”
So, I think I would have found my new catchphrase on that campus. I’d be saying it everywhere, to everyone, every time. If they get pissed, or butthurt (hhmmmm. . . ) over it, that’s THEIR problem, not mine.
Just yesterday I called out to 2 female co-workers, “hey,guys”.
See you all in re-education camp (I call the bottom bunk)
F**k y’all, LGBTQIA Resource Center.
You guys at IOTW are so clever…..
Oops. 😮
Anytime someone says to “educate yourself”, it makes me want to reach out and choke the fucker who said it.
My conservative father-in-law, who is in his late 70s, flips out whenever anyone says ‘you guys’ at an upscale restaurant. Just because he feels it is too informal and inappropriate. Can’t wait to share the new meaning of why it should be banned next time it happens.
How bout we just call em all “Millennial Mother Scratchers” then we only have to learn one word.
annie
Hilarious! I looked at the piece to see what they recommend instead of “hey guys”…answer is “hey y’all”. Wouldn’t this be a cultural appropriation? I’m so confused!
They are offended being called a synonym for person (singular) or people (plural).
If they aren’t people, what the heck are they???
Animals!
LGBTQIA…
The A is for asexual, meaning without sexual feelings or associations.
If that’s the case, calling this particular animal he/she/guy/male/shemale/etc (I prefer freak of nature) would indeed have no bearing on the animal because it doesn’t have fooking feelings in the first fooking place. Sheesh!
Ummm, this

How bout you’s guys. Ahhhh…forgettaboutit. Dumb bitches.
50, 40 and maybe even 30 years ago these people would have had their asses handed to them by REAL MEN when they first started mouthing off this PC shit. Now, they feel empowered because guys like me didn’t kick their asses 29 years ago.
I’m so ashamed.
“Shitheads” would work for the little puppies also.
Hey LGBTQIA Resource Center…
SECOND AMENDMENT!!!!
And if you’re not careful,
GADSDEN FLAG!!!!
No, I said flag.
I’m in Davis a few times every week. Just for golf. This story doesn’t tell the half of it. Davis is a pretend, radically liberal, utopia. Not just the university, which is only a 40 miles away, but the whole town of Davis.
A redeeming quality of UD, however, it is if not the leading agriculture science, then the second best, in the country. Ironically, it leads the country in GMO studies. The other redeeming quality are the summer clothing worm by the college co-eds. At least those who shave……………….…….thier mustaches.
Well, I have a personal beef with the word “charlatan.” I feel I have been personally insulted because my name is Charlotte. But, I get over it. Life’s too short.
harbqll, that’s my chainsaw line that I use for telemarketers and other trolls. And no, I do not feel the least bit guilty about that.
😉
Pushy Galore, Charlotte is a nice name. But it’s not as funny as Pushy Galore.
