ladies if someone calls you "bro", "dude", "man", etc., you don't have to accept it or accept them.

Yes it IS a problem that if men perceive they have insufficient power over women they are willing to toss the very concept of democratic society in a blender, but the solution to that problem isn't "more respectful pick-up lines"!!!!!!!!!!!
