you're really trying hard to avoid understanding comparisons and I'm not a dude.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I use dude as a gender neutral term. And the point I was trying to make is you think I'm going to end up committing crimes that violate human rights.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It is not, it refers to men. Don’t ascribe that term on women.

I hate to agree with the Mustang dude, but... Dude is mostly gender neutral. The same way "guys" can be.

"I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes!"

who are you to assume my personal lexicon?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not anymore. I was corrected on this around 2017, dude now includes women or non binary

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, plenty of women do not want to be called dude...

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They may not but language changes and the new generation uses dude as a non gendered term.

Interestingly, the use of dude in Canada has evolved and expanded beyond its original definition. In recent years, dude has become gender-neutral and can be used to address both men and women. This inclusive use of the term reflects the growing trend towards gender equality and inclusivity in Canadian society.
