Heh. Must have slipped my notice.
Anyway, I meant specifically the word "men" as used by that unfortunate poster when I commented on how any woman would feel offended by such an address in a mixed group. "Guys" I have seen several times by now and while it still feels somewhat weird to me, I've also noticed not many people have taken offense, so it must be common in some English-speaking areas at least. "Men", OTOH, caused an universal reaction here.
