There’s a simple gender-less fix for most (now supposedly sexist) references to “man” or “men”

just use HUMAN

MAN changes to HUMAN (a sexless word)

MEN changes to HUMANS

Oops! "Human" contains "man;" so we need to change this to "huperson." Oops! That contains "son;" so we need to change this (one more time, with feeling) to "huperchild."

So the actual word that should have been used is "huperchildkind."

The word “man” means “person”, but this pantywaist doesn’t know that. I wonder if he changes “human” to “huperson” or “woman” to “woperson”.

I am a woman who is smart enough to know that the term “mankind” includes me.

Woman has the root word man in it. How are they gonna get away from that one. Do we need a new term for the description of "people" with female parts?

Odd thought - does the original meaning for the designation of woman for the female equate to womb+man for woman?
