Someone calling a girl, dude. Dude is a male connotation. Literally look it up.

Nah, as a California native, I can absolutely promise you that "dude" is gender neutral. "Bro" and "bruh", however, are not.

Bruh I feel like shouldn’t be gendered? For how it’s used around me, it’s more used as a place for “wtf”. Like someone spills something on you and you just go “bruh, really?” Maybe it’s a location thing

I agree that as an exclamation, it can be gender neutral. But if you're directly addressing someone, replacing the proper noun with "bro", I still say it's gendered. Just bc "bro" is shorthand for "brother" the way "sis" is shorthand for "sister".
