I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, 'cause we're all dudes, hey!

Guys being dudes is pretty obviously gendered. As a woman i dont like girls doing fun stuff being turned male. Sexism is not fun.

I’m OP and a woman, and I agree, sexism is not fun. But this example isn’t the hill to die on imo. Referring to a group of mixed gendered people as “guys” “dudes” or “bros” isn’t remotely sexist or offensive to me. What would you prefer, “guys and gals”, “dudes and dudettes”? That’s condescending af.

Im not dying on a hill. Just pointing out casual sexism where I see it. I am noone's bro and the sub is clearly meant to be about guys doing 'guy things' so why not leave them to it.

I thought it was a teenaged boy. Either way, it’s in the right spirit and the mod hasn’t made any posting rules to say only outwardly passing men count as just guys being dudes.

Dude, Dudette, Zebra, confused olive, ... That looks like fun and everyone deserves some.

I had to google that. It’s the fancy name for sprinkles (or hundreds and thousands if your British).

It's also what they call those little chocolate discs with the white sprinkles on them sometimes also called snow caps
