“Bastard” is what you call “male leaning” because it was used for male children born outside of marriage who therefore couldn’t inherit titles.
It wasn’t used much for girls cause they couldn’t inherit titles anyway, so it didn’t matter.
“Fucker” is “male leaning” cause women were historically not seen as doing the fucking. They were fucked.
Dude is also genderless.
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!
I worked at a university and I heard women call each other “bro” all the time.
bruh
My teenage daughters say “bruh” pretty often.
My gen z sister in law says bro way more than me.
Almost like OP is making shit up
It is almost certainly made up for the sake of the joke, but I’ve absolutely met women like this.
Dude for me is genderless, but it’s not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.
If they don’t abide, they lack dudeness
Agreed
Depends on the context.
“Hey Brian, were you making out with a dude last night!?”
“Haha, no, that was Annie, she’s a chick, she just has short hair.”
Dude(s) and Guy(s) can be gender neutral or male-only. Girl can mean a female child, or it can mean a woman, depending on the context.
That means it’s not gender neutral, it just means you use male as a default in most contexts.
Its gener neutral male leaning and is context specific. Like bastard or fucker.

But pegging.
Butt*
I feel like it’s a PhD thesis material
Only in the right class.
Dude is a network monitoring tool as well.
Nah, that’s the dude
No, that’s the admin of my instance, and he’s not a tool, he’s quite chill.
Me? I know who I am! I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Cunt is also genderless.
I’m a cunt. He’s a cunt. She’s a cunt. We’re all cunts!
And The Dude abides
but am i a dude?
No.

If you have to ask…
I have female colleagues that have yelled at me for calling them dude.
Listen to this dude.
