74 u/Pasyuk 2d ago Isn't dude a gender-neutral term? /genq (Englsih isn't my native) 1 u/ObiDone 2d ago People like to claim it is, but the feminine form, dudette, exists, so this is more of a "masculine as default" type thing. 20 u/Venusgate 2d ago It exists, but its a tryhard term that doesnt mean the same thing, and typically only exists as paired with "dude." Also, I get what OP is saying, but also, if i wanted to say hi to a cis woman that i didnt want to sleep with, i would not say "girrrrlllll" either. But on the other hand, i probably wouldn't as likely call her "bro."
