I… maybe I, too, am extrapolating too hard from people including me who turned out to not be straightforwardly women without reservation but like I’m *positive* finding “male” terms like dude validating was a pretty common thing for [female-ish people] back when I talked to people regularly. Which admittedly was in like high school, and maybe most people I talked to about it are trans now idk! But I doubt it’s all of them. (It would honestly be very weird to me if, in a culture that so often treats women as inherently secondary players, no women were emotionally pleased with being addressed with “male” terms.)

Indeed. I mean tbh it's kinda Taboo or whatever because it's a Ter f talking point but there really are a lot of reasons besides Really Being a Man Deep Down why it would appeal to a lot of women in a lot of times and places to be perceived and treated more like or even as a man. Gender just actually is complicated like that.

anyway the real problem is that our language is built around terms we understand as male as the default. Feminine or gender neutral terms are nearly always longer, less natural-feeling and more specific. We never should have let "men" become gendered in the first place.

"As a woman, I absolutely love it when random strangers call me 'dude,' 'bro,' or 'man'" said no woman ever.
