FoundTheVeganSort of off topic. But if you are putting a disclaimer that something is "gender neutral", just use a different word. Y'all? Fam? 😂
For those that say these are inherently gender neutral, how many bros have you slept with? Male isn't the "default" human experience.
YeatherBro and dude have effectively become gender neutral for referring to someone. It’s not patriarchy, it’s how a language evolves.
It is patriarchy because it’s consistently the masculine that’s the default.
Yes, male is the default in the English language. When the gender of someone is unknown or you’re referring to someone casually you use the default gender of the language. In Welsh, the default is female. Same as Maasai and Mohawk.
