Well, fwiw if a guy doesn’t want to date you cause you’re 5’7 you dodged a bullet. Same with the rest of these superficial “rules”. like it’s one thing to have a preference but idk why you would reject someone outright over something like that

I’d say it’s a expression that does have gender associations, but it’s not offensive or anything to call a woman dude in the right context. If anything it is usually used as a gesture of camaraderie, in this case because a woman has suffered in a way that men can understand.

Wait really? Are you straight? I’d be really surprised any guys would think 5’7 is too tall.
