I haven't been accused of borderline hate speech (that's a fucking ridiculous accusation and whoever claimed that clearly doesn't know the definition), but whether or not it's gender-specific depended on context for me. "That dude over there" makes me think someone's talking about someone male. But simply going, "Dude!" or "Whoa, dude!" or "Dude, did you see that?" doesn't make me think of gender at all. Oddly, that's how I view "man" as well. "Maaaan..." or "thanks, man" is much different from saying "you're a man" or "that man over there." Maybe I hung around way too many hippies in my life, idk.

I'll admit I kind of miss the rare "dudette" they used to say back in the day.
