      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.

              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.
