You, sir are a cunning linguist! (Though, don’t give up your job for comedy;)

I think the correct word is polysemy, and not homonym. The similarity of word is no more accidental than “Dog”.

I further think that I was mistaken in this case, and “No Man” may mean “Not any Man” more than it could mean “None of Mankind”.

It may not matter, as to object to the wording is revisionist wokism. The Enterprise had plenty of women on it.

Actually I was/am confused!

So the EU is polysemyphobic?

It may not matter, as to object to the wording is revisionist wokism. The Enterprise had plenty of women on it.

And the only invisibility of women was via the transporter. Deep space, "where no man has gone before without women."

Speaking of revisionist wokism this is exampled by the wanton warring wordcraft of a wokeism warrior against what God ordained, by a feminist who is employed from a college founded in 1824 by Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase, but now has a potential candidate ("Brianna Thompson") for the office of implementation WOKE policies under the auspices of a Council of Transexuality:

"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."
This counts toward the methods requirement for the major. Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104. Open only to first-year and sophomore students.

Author is Brianna Thompson, who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism at Kenyon college (founded by Episcopal Bishop in 1824). Course is Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality ENGL 214, https://www.kenyon.edu/academics/departments-and-majors/english/academic-program-requirements/courses-in-english/
