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).
