Similarly to “female doctor” or many other pointlessly-gendered terms that have been folded into one term to avoid othering women, “dudette” really just creates a meaningless separation and keeps us from all being dudes.
Yeah, I agree it’s probably for the best in the end - just thought it was an amusing term when not used to objectify, but just to acknowledge the presence (and perhaps perspectives) of “the fairer sex” (another much more dated term).
So, “dudette” has fallen into the waste bin of history, eh?
