Could someone tell me words that are only used by men in Japan. Not expressions, but words. The ones that I found were 俺、食う、我。 Also do おふくろ and おやじ come under dansei kotoba?
It’s worth saying that a lot of this stuff is better thought of as a gradient than hard male/female. Like some expressions are only slightly more feminine than masculine or vice-versa.
