Yeah, sorry for being antagonistic. It's not not knowing things that set me off, it's not knowing things and then making a joke about all the things you don't know (ie: Virgin Mary!).

Not knowing how your system and birth control works have real, serious consequences and deserves to be treated as such.

DA

god why do people even make jokes anymore? UGH

You're not so knowledgeable yourself dude. You're blowing up over nothing.

NAYRT: Why do you assume they're a dude? That this thread even exists should prove that men aren't the only ones who can be clueless about periods, no matter how sure they think they are.

calling someone dude doesnt mean you think they're a dude...

That's dumb.

Are you a ESL speaker? It's not a rhetoric question. I am and it took me a while to get this. "Dude" is something of a filler word in english and it's pretty common to call people "dude" regarless of their gender. Or not call them dude but just randomly peppering your sentences with it.

idk english is weird.

No, I've been speaking English my whole life. It's only really been in the last decade or so that "dude" has become a nongendered word. And it's dumb.

how dare the use of language ever change or evolve

dude, that's just how language works. words take up different meanings all the all.

you're even got an example in your post.

So you're aware of that usage of the word, but pretend not to understand people when they use it that way just because you don't like it? That's pretty dumb.

Being aware that it can be used as a nongendered word and expecting every instance ever to be nongendered are two different things.

This particular instance wouldn't be especially ambiguous to someone already aware of the word's modern usage. You're being pretty pedantic if you see A telling B "dude, chill" and your response is to ask A why they're assuming B is a man.

dude

dude

dude

I don't know that you'll read this since it's so late, but I've lived in California my whole life, I was already an adult a decade ago, I'm a cis-woman, and everyone in my peer group (but not bosses or professors or parents/elderly relatives) got and still gets called dude, at least since the 80s, unless they say it bugs them.

I think anon was making a joke about something other than the stuff she didn't know.

Your reaction is pretty weird and OTT
