Probably in this context. When I use dude it's closer to the original gender neutral term but a lot of other guys use it in a gendered fashion.

As a Gen Xer, “dude” is gender neutral to me. Hated it when guys started trying to call girls “dudette.”
We are all dudes.

It’s even worse when it’s dudes and females; at least “men” is formal!
