For the March 2022 issue of Chilango — a news and culture magazine covering Mexico City, Mexico — the staff knew they had to top the year before to commemorate International Women’s Day.“Chilango” is a term used to refer to people from the capital. As a masculine singular noun, it can also mean a man from Mexico City. “Chilangos,” as a masculine plural noun, can mean either a group of men of Mexico City or a group of people of any gender. That’s what’s called the generic masculine, where the masculine form of a word is employed when more than one gender is involved.
