A dudetude "dude TUDE" is when a girl tries too hard to emulate the behavior of a stereotypical
man. She perceives all men to be bullies and strives to be
like them. Emulating these stereotypes often seems
like forced / unnatural behavior for civilized men observing her, men who are less obsessed with being tough. To take it a step farther she may dress
like a tomboy. Perhaps she was bullied by a
man, idolizes tougher male celebrities or listens to a lot of hardcore
music that gets her into a tough attitude. Looking to prove some sort of point that she is just as manly as the next guy. She often still has a lot of the core weaknesses such as being easily offended or sensitive but hides it. Always looking to be “out there” pushing the
gender rules, but her mannerisms don'
t always make since to more thoughtful men (forced behavior). Lives to control others with any authoritative role she can find. Takes on male facial features, doesn’t shave, etc.
