So Pittsburgh was actually ahead of the times in political correctness by using "yinz"?

No. SJWs are the only people that think it's sexist.

Default Is "you guys" an inherently sexist term?

No, it is not. It seems, however, that you can't walk around the corner without encountering someone who is anxious to be "offended" by something or even nothing.

If you use "youse guys" it is endearing......just watch Rocky films to know how my relatives talked.

Nope. I'm a female and use it all of the time, even when talking with just women. "Hey! Do you guys want to go get lunch?"

I was reading this article: The Common Guy | ***** Media

and wanted your thoughts.
No. "Guys" refers to anyone in a group. Lawyers might refer to "the guys in the Products Liability section," referring to all the lawyers in that section, whatever gender.
