No, no, you're cooking. I can see that interpretation.

I don’t see it when the lady saying “bro” after he loses the visor. “Bro” is not something ladies really say.

My daughter has entered the chat bro.

Really?

Maybe it's linguistic continuity to show they are the same person from before the visor was removed. Or...

Maybe women can just say "bro".

Edit: I'm not calling you a sexist or anything, but it's a weird deduction to make based on very subjective/anecdotal "evidence". I've interacted with a lot of women online they use "bro" pretty freely.

They can, but that’s really more a dude thing.

But women can be dudes too

Speak for yourself, bruh. We may not all say it, or say it as frequently as men do, but some of us absolutely have "bro" and its varieties within our regular vocabulary.

Honestly, I grew up using "dude" the same way (it was unavoidable when you grew up surrounded by brothers and male cousins in the 90s.) "Bro" was adopted later on. It has the same gender-coded tinge to it, but since "dude" already made sense to me, "bro" never felt strange to say.

I (afab) call my husband, sisters, and female friends bros, dudes, dawgs, and guys.

Whether I’m a lady is debatable, because I’m a little rough around the edges, but I’m definitely female and wear skirts.
