I hope “Hey Ladies” is still ok, since that’s what I’ve been using for decades.

There is no issues of inclusivines in our country. Why US always want to push their culture on other groups and countries.

We have no issues regrading inclusivity. Most people are very polite and dont have issue. Please (Google, Big Tech) stop pushing your agendas on other countries.

What country is that? I'm pretty sure it will have issues of inclusivity, you just don't see them because you're not affected by it.

I'm guessing the UK. And I agree.

I guess it's maybe because we've had different experiences. For example, I could see me saying "Hey ladies" to the group of girls that I went to school with. I couldn't imagine addressing women on the street or in work with that phrase unless I developed at the very minimum a friendly relationship with all of them.

But that's just me, you are totally correct I've seen lots of people do it without any complaints what so ever.
