An article at Vox.
By the way, this isn't only about being inclusive toward women. Some men don't like being called guys. I knew a woman — a generation older than me — who once got snapped at by her husband for addressing the males in the group as "guys" one too many times. If I remember correctly, there were a few couples who went hiking together, and the woman tended to call out "Come on, guys" and that sort of thing until the husband let her see that he'd been fuming about it for a long time. It was dismissive and demeaning and he'd had enough.
So "guys" is a funny word. You might think it's just nicely casual and friendly, but the other person might really have a thing about it. Maybe the husband described above wanted him and his friends to be addressed as "gentlemen. " Mixed groups would be addressed as "ladies and gentlemen." You don't hear that much anymore, and calling a woman a "lady" could be taken as an insult in some circles. Now, consider that the female term that corresponds to "guy" is "doll." If you can't imagine addressing a mixed group as "guys and dolls," maybe you shouldn't say "guys." You wouldn't address a mixed group as just "gentlemen." Inclusiveness may sound distressingly new, but it's actually old. You'd know you'd need to say "ladies and gentlemen." So you should have to say "guys and dolls." But you're not going to do that.
