Dude for me is genderless, but it’s not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.

If they don’t abide, they lack dudeness

Depends on the context.
“Hey Brian, were you making out with a dude last night!?”
“Haha, no, that was Annie, she’s a chick, she just has short hair.”
Dude(s) and Guy(s) can be gender neutral or male-only. Girl can mean a female child, or it can mean a woman, depending on the context.

That means it’s not gender neutral, it just means you use male as a default in most contexts.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Its gener neutral male leaning and is context specific. Like bastard or fucker.

Bastard is what you call “male leaning” because it was used for male children born outside of marriage who therefore couldn’t inherit titles.
It wasn’t used much for girls cause they couldn’t inherit titles anyway, so it didn’t matter.“Fucker” is “male leaning” cause women were historically not seen as doing the fucking. They were fucked.

Almost like OP is making shit up
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It is almost certainly made up for the sake of the joke, but I’ve certainly met women like this.
