In the U.S., the word "fellows" has many meaning. A common formal
expression in the U.S. is "My fellow Americans" (often heard in speeches
by U.S. presidents and higher ranking officials) and has no more sexist
meaning than any of the other patriarchally bound words and expressions
such as "All MEN are created equal", "Hey GUYS", etc.

Hello Fellows
"Fellows"? What about the women on this list?
Where I work this sort of casual sexism is strictly
forbidden. It's thoughtless and rude. And silly. Do
you really want answers only from the men on this
list? Some of our smartest participants are women!
