I hope this has been mentioned around here before, and I don’t expect anyone cares, but historically “man” was a gender-neutral term (back in the middle ages the prefixes wer- and wif- specified “male man” or “female man”). This has a legacy in our modern language in the same sort of way that words that came to us…

colloquialism

What is a colloquialism? Is it sexist?

I have been watching my boyfriend play it since it came out. It is by far the least boring/annoying game for him to play while I read on the couch. That’s high praise on my girlfriend of a gamer video game review scale.

My dude person loves it and he named a planet after me. All parties involved are happy.

Because it plays on a colloquialism?
