The issue with this though is two fold. One, the whole episode felt stages, as if the producers were doing it to pat themselves on the back. And two, when Jeff asked if anyone was offended with the use of the term guys, it was the women who said it was fine, they weren't offended, which goes against your premise that women might feel offended by it. In THIS case, it was a man who felt offended by it. I get the feeling though that Jeff was going to do this regardless and maybe the man came forward at the prodding of production. And why even make a big deal about it? Just change what you say and be done with it? That's why, to me, it came across as disingenuous, that production was trying to make this point for the sake of the great publicity it would give them. I don't disagree with your premise, as I've tried to catch myself before I say things like guys when women are involved.
