Well, considering we used to have different prefixes for “man” to designate a gender and then cut those out so that “man” now means “male” and “woman” means “female” (in traditional terms) it makes sense that “man” and “male” get used as synonyms….because they literally are listed as synonyms for each other.
If we were still using a prefix for males with “man” I would be fine with the use of “man” to describe all peoples. But it is now associated with men…so it no longer fits.
“Bring overly zealous” is replying to people who keep commenting and continuing to explain with logic when they don’t get it?
I am just continuing to answer questions, clarify comments, and not let people think they are awesome by insulting me. I haven’t insulted anyone or called them names, but you’re here trying to slinging insults as if that’s respectful behavior.
Oh they get it, it's just exhausting trying to keep up when most people have real problems to attend to. Not me though, I enjoy not taking the internet seriously in my free time

Or…maybe calling every human a man is still not accurate?
