          Yep I also say dude to men and women. Big deal.

          I guess next time I see your mom I’ll call her dude.

          (I kid, I kid.)

            Don’t kid. Call her dude or guy, I literally do not care.

            (I kid not and don’t see the point, and for a “Cosmic” Cleric, you seem a bit uptight and closeminded)

        “Actress” also still exists, but many women in that business prefer “actor” and it is becoming a default.

        The existence of a word doesn’t change the fact that language is fluid.
