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.
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!”
Not anymore. I was corrected on this around 2017, dude now includes women or non binary
Nope, plenty of women do not want to be called dude…
