Only men?

• mapontosevenths 4mo ago
  Women who dress like Marlene Dietrich are also acceptable, but that's where I draw the line. More seriously, I should have capitalized the "M" to make clear that it was Men, as in Mankind, but this is the internet in 2026 and most people are only semi-literate. I'm not certain it would have helped. Especially if someone wants to be offended. You just can't stop them if that was their goal going into it.

    There is a gender-indeterminate alternative: people. Using "man" to refer to all people stopped being popular last century.

      Popularity and correctness are unrelated concepts. The word "Men" was gender neutral long before it became masculine, and Armstrong did not take "one giant leap for peoplekind".
