octopus_ink, 3 months ago So I’ve seen this a lot, but I’m Gen-X and dude was always masculine to me. I support use of dude as gender-neutral, but it’s hard for me to do it naturally because my brain is so locked into dude as gendered. Aerosmith ain’t helping the situation. (Also - some of the recent comments on that video are annoyingly predictable swipes at current issues. You have been warned.)
