Telling people what they can't feel when it's obvious that they're feeling it isn't likely to have the effect you want.
Sidetrack: I thought "guy" wasn't all that strongly gendered any more, but I seem to be wrong about that.
Good point. I had in mind Eliezer's "the way opposes your fear / the way opposes your calm" when I wrote that part, and reading it without that specific mindset it does appear quite off-putting.
"Guys" as a plural in the second person isn't gendered ("you guys"). In other grammatical contexts it is quite male.
