Yeah, the fact that OP mentioned being at a party was sus. Nobody who posts on 4 Chan is ever invited to parties.

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 14 points 2 weeks 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.

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.

Bro y u so wrong

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 weeks 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.

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.🤷🏽

I always "y'all" and I'm not even from the south.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 66 points 2 weeks ago

Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing

"You" used to be that word, but mfs didn't wanna say "thou" anymore so "you" has to pull double duty now

In parts of the south "y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural.

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 52 points 2 weeks 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".

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 59 points 2 weeks 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 48 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...

[-] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 42 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or 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.

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 31 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

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.

"Cunt" it is, then.

Cunt is singular, he should have used "cunts".

Shouldn't it have been "How many guys have you fucked?" He didn't say "you dudes."

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 23 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.
