Dude is also genderless.
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!

I worked at a university and I heard women call each other “bro” all the time.

My teenage daughters say “bruh” pretty often.

Dude for me is genderless, but it’s not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.
EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 1 week ago
If they don’t abide, they lack dudeness
merc@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
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.
jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week ago
That means it’s not gender neutral, it just means you use male as a default in most contexts.

Cunt is also genderless.

People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say “man, whyd you do that” thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.

Idk about the rest of it but dude and guys can totally be gender neutral and i hate people that dont get that. Its such a bitchy thing to get mad about
Jrockwar@feddit.uk 1 week ago
Also queen, “James, you’re such an Excel queen”. I’ve seen this sort of use many times at my workplace. It doesn’t have anything to do with gender or sexual orientation.
It’s obviously more niche than “dude” but I’ve seen it before.
LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
claims they understand gendered language
describes someone as “bitchy”
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
This. I’ve got a fair few trans friends, and we’re all in agreement - unless it’s obvious we’re talking in gendered terms based on context, “dude”, “man”, “bro”, etc are just interjections, not reference to someone’s gender. And, when we are talking in gendered contexts, we tend to be pretty clear about that.
dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 1 week ago
It’s really great that you have friends who are in a good enough place to not worry about that stuff.

Bro y u so wrong
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
Thats a joke right? Because youre getting downvoted, but you yourself called me bro without knowing my gender so it must be a joke or youre the most oblivious person ive ever seen.
unazebra@lemmy.world 1 week ago
But like…I think it goes beyond just gender specificity & is also an attempt to address the embedded patriarchy of our culture & language. Those interjection words being male of center as a default is something I wanna unpack, too.🤷🏽
GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Then let’s also start using sis and girl when referring to men. BOOM EQUALITY!
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
As another comment said “queen” being gender neutral and coming from a word used for females originally. Also patriarchy is embedded in language but you cant really change it. Its always better to agree on a gender neutral phrase than have an infight(classic left wing moment…) and then revert to the previous gendered language because of it. We should all just speak hungarian, barely any gendered stuff in there(def not biased because its my mother tounge)

I always “y’all” and I’m not even from the south.
jqubed@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
“You” used to be that word, but mfs didn’t wanna say “thou” anymore so “you” has to pull double duty now
philthi@lemmy.world 1 week ago
In Ireland it’s still very common to use ‘ye’ for you plural.
blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Missing? It is that part of speech! 😁 “You all,” the thing it conjoins, is proper English and the accurate thing to say. We do have it. We just refuse to try harder to be less patriarchal bc “guy” has less syllables. And most of the time it’s preceded by “you” anyway, so not even shorter. (If I’m wrong, someone please correct me)
I take the time to correct myself in meetings, “when can you guys- ahem you all” - no apology, bc I’m doing my best, and demonstrating in my actions.

The only two things the South got right were “y’all” and biscuits and gravy.
merc@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
In parts of the south “y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural.
lars@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week ago
As a super non-Southern USA guy, anytime I drop a “y’all” into convo, my Southerner friends say I’m not doing it right because I simply substitute all “you” instances with “y’all”.
I guess these friends don’t come from the singular-y’all part of the South.

i’m from australia and i’ve adopted yall for exactly that reason
it also makes me real happy that some very transphobic shit heads would be furious if they knew that “their word” was part of the solution to gender neutral terminology
Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 1 week ago
It’s not a problem until someone tells you to not refer to them as a dude or a guy. If you continue, you are just an asshole 🤷🏻
MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week ago
Sure, but we’re talking plurals of strangers atm. “Please don’t call me a guy going forward” is a different conversation than “what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong”.
orcrist@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Your facts are not what OP wrote, though. And in this context the facts are relevant, which is the point.
Bad red herring.
teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Or, just maybe. The person remarking is an asshole. It gives off the same energy as correcting grammar when talking with someone.
Corgana@startrek.website 1 week ago
Why does the other persons energy matter? If someone requests not to be called something and you continue to call them that then you are kinda being a jerk.
pythonoob@programming.dev 1 week ago
I mean I’ll be nice about it and correct to girls or ladies or whatever, but that conversation is probably over
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
I definitely use “guy” as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as “dude” as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!
HerbSolo@lemmy.world 1 week ago
“Ladydudes” is the way to go.
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from “guys” to “dudes” when it’s about the former word…
Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 week ago
“You fuckers” is the correct nomenclature
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 week ago
“Fuckos” for informal situations
HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 1 week ago
At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. I’ve never met a cis-woman who was offended by “guys” or “dude”. I’ve never met a cis-man who was offended by being called “babe” or “hun” either.
jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 1 week ago
“Cunt” it is, then.
samus12345@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Shouldn’t it have been “How many guys have you fucked?” He didn’t say “you dudes.”
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.
luce@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
I view “guys” and “dudes” as gender neutral but when its directed towards me i start feeling like shit

Me: 🚶
hexabs@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Why would she ask “How many dudes have you fucked?” to attack his position.
It seems like a completely different topic altogether. I call fake.
Oh and the gay part is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.
