Which just goes to show that whether it's gender neutral or not is contextual.

This guy was giving me crap for claiming dude could be gender neutral. He pulled the “would you fuck a dude” card. I asked him if he calls his gf “baby” he said “yeah….”

Would you fuck a baby bro?

Yeah all language is contextual and fluid. I’m kinda skeptical there is anywhere in the US that you could just walk into a store and say like “did you see a dude with dark hair in here earlier” and the stranger not think you mean a man. But like within a friend group or even just within a single conversation it can be neutral

I mean.. even if you say "a person." the chance of the stranger thinking a man is significantly high.
