clearly ingenue is the correct choice

or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.

Hey dude, don't make it weird. Take a bad song and make it wetter.

[-] 1609_kilometers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

Dude can be gendered

and some people will think you're just looking for an excuse to call men people who aren't, if you say that dude is not gendered to you

we're on the internet after all, and no one knows the real intentions of the people behind the screen

You know I've said "dude" all my life and I still use it all the time in regards to everyone. If I saw that someone was genuinely offended at being called dude I wouldn't use it again with that person, but now that I really think about it I don't think I've ever heard the term in a derogatory way. Like ever. For me it's always been a happy/inclusive word for addressing friends. My only worry for now is that saying it shows my age.

then you're golden, dude 🙂

Idgaf if dude can be gendered. I use dude every time in my speech. I sometimes even use "bro" towards women. People need to get over themselves and stop assuming negative intent at everything

good for you, some people really don't want to be called that.
part of respecting someone's identity is respecting the terms which they want and don't want to be called by.
getting them wrong doesn't make you an asshole, getting them wrong and not caring does.

People need to get over themselves

in this context this is identical to Conservative "the new generation is too sensitive!!!" drivel.

Do you fuck dudes?

I don't, I'm married

My niece calls her mom "bruh"

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I sometimes do that to my mom too

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same with my niece and nephews. They call everyone bruh.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I use "my guy" as a humorous precursor to the rest of my sentence regardless of whom I'm speaking to.

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are you okay having the tables flipped and someone calling you "sis"?

Using male language as the default may not bother you and you may have no ill intent with it, but it does have a history tied to it. A history where women were seen as less than and didn't have equal rights. Western society still uses male language slang regardless of gender (hey guys, dude, bro, bruh) and it all stems from a history of a patriarchal society. Every time we say, "hey guys" to refer to a mixed-gender group, we perpetuate patriarchy, whether we intended to or not.

Legally and overall culturally, women are still seen as less than and we still don't have equal rights (e.g. divorce and abortion law).

I honestly don't think i would be bothered if someone called me sis. I think it would be funny even.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Actually women have superior rights during divorce, in the western world anyway. Try to keep the children as a man during divorce.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

To me this feels like you could say "Guys, ", as a general term to catch the attention of/refer to a mixed genre group as a whole. Anyone getting upset that you're using "Guys" in that context to refer to both men and women is just looking for an excuse
