Growing up in the US South, my grandparents used the word “fellow” pretty much exclusively to refer to men/boys, usually with a strong southern drawl (i.e., “that feller o’er thar”).
I’m not sure if it has the same gendered connotations elsewhere, but that ACM headline seems jarring to me because of it.
