> using "man" in the "mankind" context isn't really a misuse or inherently sexist

I understand the ethymologic perspective, but the above statement is part of on-going discussion.

E.g. > To refer to all human beings, use terms like “individuals,” “people,” or “persons” rather than “man” or “mankind” to be accurate and inclusive.

I personally like 'man' as it had a poetic ring to me. I also think it makes sense to pay attention to the differing perception of language, as I want to be able to communicate effectively with all kinds of people.
