    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.

              Spanish isn’t widely spoken down here though. The origin is completely different. We have a habit of adding -o to various words in Australian parlance - bottleo for bottle shop, the name John becomes Johno, arvo for afternoon, ambo for ambulance driver and fuckos for fuckers. Your assumption it’s spanish is incorrect and culturally ignorant, and your attempt to dictate from that ignorance with the assumption that your personal experience and worldview is dominant and correct …tsk tsk tsk i’m afraid this is going to cost you.

    At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if youre end goal is gender equality (and even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and “dude” and “guys” can be neutral terms.

      At first you need to take responsibility for what comes out your face and not assume everyone will accommodate to your inability to read the room. If you’re an asshole to someone don’t be a little bitch if you’re getting called out.

      I’m so fucking sick of the neg culture that pretends to be politically correct. There’s malicious sexism and loads of assholes out there for sure but some feel emboldened to attack anyone they construe to be saying what they think is wrong regardless of context.

      Someone will always be offended by absolutely fucking everything. They can go fuck themselves.

      Hell, in the Irish TV series “Bad Sisters”, the women have called each other collectively “lads”. If that’s the kind of thing that grinds your gears, you’re better off surgically excising the part of your brain that deals with language comprehension, so you can never again understand anything being said to you.

      Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.

        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.

          “Would ya’ll like a soda?” Vs. “Would all ya’ll like a soda?” - one of these means everyone shares one soda, the other means each person gets their own - but I don’t know which is which :O

        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.

      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.

            “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.

            That spelling is “ya[you] will” and I’ll brook no disagreement. As in, “ya’ll turn right at the Sunoco and go three more rights. Then it’ll be on ya left.”

            The OTS is “y’all” for “you all.”

      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.

            Would be a classic facebook moment. Gender neutral guy is like singular they/them. “That is not natural bla bla bla, use he/she” and then you ask them “do you know who alex is” and they respond “no, i dont know who they are” which is using singular they or just assume their gender.

      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.🤷🏽

        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)

          Lol Elon Musk would probably start banning all users who did this on Twitter if it gained any traction.

          No, the etymology is actually completely distinct from the gendered usage of “man.” It’s actually quite interesting.

        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.

          Claims to understand language

          doesn’t understand word is being used in a non-gendered manner… The verb is completely detached from the noun in normal use. You could say Elon musk is the world’s richest bitch and that would not be even insulting. That would be a side way to say he is exceedingly wealthy. If I said Elon Musk that rich bitch? then again, bitch would not be being used in a derogatory or gendered manner. If I said Elon musk is a massive bitch. Now we have finally arrived at an insult. Still not gendered.

      It’s because the joke story was supposed to be " hey dudes" That way the woman asks “how many dudes have you fucked” he can then go into the Grindr gotcha
