Phrases that need to die: "my dude"
I ain't your fucking 'dude'. Fuck your default male way of thinking.
@Maverynthia my favorite replacement for pretty much every gendered term like that is cuz. It’s short for cousin, which makes it sort of like a neutral version of bro, and it’s even used in Shakespeare! Also I just like it
@Maverynthia I HATE THAT PHRASE SO MUCH not even just the "everyone is male by default" shit its also just condescending as fuck
