BadOptics posted:"Man" is only gender neutral if you're referring to the entire species and its use in that fashion is on the way out. the english language previously assumed all persons of unknown gender (either because you don't know or because it's a generic person) was male but that is on its way out as well in favor of being replaced with "they" as a singular gender-neutral pronoun (given that "it" is also somewhat offensive!) or just tinkering with the wording to avoid using pronouns that imply gender in the first place but of course when you actually know the gender of the person, then you just use the correct singular pronoun

Not trying to be all "well actually" since I believe you should give people the pronouns they want and not be a dick, but the word "man" meant "person" long before it meant "male", hence the words "wereman" and "wifman" to distinguish the genders. Again, just saying this for the sake of

It's an example of our language being sexist and should be changed. Personally I would be all for gendered pronouns being removed from English entirely. There are languages without gendered pronouns that work perfectly fine.

It's an example of our language being sexist and should be changed. english is evolving to eliminate the male bias, fortunately, it already sounds archaic in some uses the problem with "guys" is that english does not actually contain a second person plural that doesn't require a gender (i.e. you have to use you guys or you girls) unless you use "yall" which is unlikely to enter into mainstream usage considering that using it is basically considered a declaration you are from the deep south which, given the regional biases present in the united states, is unlikely to catch on elsewhere

"Bro" is a gender neutral pronoun and no one can tell me differently. If someone is your bro then they are your bro, regardless of sex, gender, or whatever.

A wereman is when a man who bites another man, and every full moon he turns into a half-man/half-bro, loping through the forest at night, craving fistbumps and red solo cups full of coors lite.
