Shouldn't it have been "How many guys have you fucked?" He didn't say "you dudes."

Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.

It's because the joke story was supposed to be " hey dudes" That way the woman asks "how many dudes have you fucked" he can then go into the Grindr gotcha

I view "guys" and "dudes" as gender neutral but when its directed towards me i start feeling like shit

Cunt is singular, he should have used "cunts".

"You fuckers" is the correct nomenclature

"Fuckos" for informal situations

At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and "dude" and "guys" can be neutral terms.

At first you need to take responsibility for what comes out your face and not assume everyone will accommodate to your inability to read the room. If you're an asshole to someone don't be a little bitch if you're getting called out.

Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.

I'm so fucking sick of the neg culture that pretends to be politically correct. There's malicious sexism and loads of assholes out there for sure but some feel emboldened to attack anyone they construe to be saying what they think is wrong regardless of context.

Someone will always be offended by absolutely fucking everything. They can go fuck themselves.

Hell, in the Irish TV series “Bad Sisters”, the women have called each other collectively “lads”. If that’s the kind of thing that grinds your gears, you’re better off surgically excising the part of your brain that deals with language comprehension, so you can never again understand anything being said to you.

It's not a problem until someone tells you to not refer to them as a dude or a guy. If you continue, you are just an asshole 🤷🏻

Sure, but we're talking plurals of strangers atm. "Please don't call me a guy going forward" is a different conversation than "what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Your facts are not what OP wrote, though. And in this context the facts are relevant, which is the point.

Bad red herring.

I mean I'll be nice about it and correct to girls or ladies or whatever, but that conversation is probably over
