Its equally ridiculous to use either gendered form for the wrong group. But groups of women are called &#x27;guys&#x27; all the time. The observation that it sounds funny&#x2F;annoying when a group of &#x27;dudes&#x27; is labeled using a feminine term, is only something a male would notice. I&#x27;m suggesting &#x27;get over it&#x27; because men have no special right to be not-annoyed by this.
