In the second panel, the protagonist is in a supermarket and the cashier says “Hey man.” In the third panel, the protagonist is on a train and someone on the phone says “Hello, sir.” In the fourth panel, the protagonist enters an apartment and says “I’ home.” and is welcomed by a woman who rushes towards her and says “THERE she is!” The two of them hug in the fifth panel, while the woman says “How’s my beautiful girlfriend doing??”

    I simply did not have that same banter vocabulary for girls, and I just had to learn to say “hey… listen… y’alright…”

    I just use the formal words for women in an informal tone. “Look lady”, “madam, I assure you this shit is fucked” etc

      Isn’t that the same problem as using “man” though ? You’re affirming a pronoun that they genuinely might not jell with, and are too polite/scared of reproach to correct
