The English word for male human certainly isn't 'were'. It might have been some time in the long past, by in sure less than 5% of people know that now. Language evolves (yes, I know that's a cheesy thing to say). I think many people do assume "he" is referring to a male -- there certainly seems to be a growing group week want to remove it's use in non-gendered context.
