Do not call me “man”, “dude” or “bro”.
Reblogged from the-artist-formerly-known-as-jd
I realize that a lot of people have come to think of them as non-gendered colloquialisms, but they are still obviously rooted in maleness, and thus I don’t want them attributed to me.
Please and thank you.
Or mate or lad or any other designator that has a history of association with men.
or ‘buddy’
seriously
Now this is something that has come to my attention. I’m a friendly guy and sometimes, I want to use a word to the same effect towards a good platonic female friend. But all of the ones I think of are directed towards guys. I could say “friend”, but that’s probably the creepiest thing in the world. ”How’re ya doin’, friend?”
