minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish29•1 year agoBro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It’s not patriarchy, it’s how a language evolves.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoYes, male is the default in the English language. When the gender of someone is unknown or you’re referring to someone casually you use the default gender of the language. In Welsh, the default is female. Same as Maasai and Mohawk.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•1 year agoI agree on dude, and can see bro coming but at present in my daily life bruh is the neutral. And I do hope it wins or else it’s mankind all over again
