Hello Gents, 
(gents is and abbreviation of gentiles, you can add any postfix to make it gender aware: men, women, alien)

No, that's not what it means in English, but even if it did ... you're including women but excluding Jewish people?
Why not just avoid the word "gents"?

Oh God…



Positivity is key attribute in a community. Please advocate for it.


 
You could start by not using exclusionary language when it's already been pointed out once.

Not this nonsense please. Leave it to the Rust mob to create imaginary social divisions through convoluted interpretation of common language.

C++ is for solving engineering problems. If you want to create social problems, do it somewhere else.
