The habit of grepping all content for keywords without understanding context or definition inhibits rational discourse. Getting third-party apologist about it when confronted is a dead stop appeal to authority.

It's unnecessary and would be extremely easy to replace with a non-sexist term that is equivalent in both meaning and elegance. The extreme resistance even to acknowledge that there's something wrong with using "man" to mean "humans" is very telling.
