        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.
