You are right, 人 (or radical 亻) is a gender neutral term means "Person/People". You can add gender ahead of it to be more specific, for example, Man means 男人 (Male Person), and Woman means 女人 (Female Person). As far as I can tell, there is no default gender for 人.

On the other hand, 蕊 is not gender neutral, because you don't call a man Flower and it's a different "Rui" from the one in my name.
