If the word “man” already refers to both male and female humans, why do many authors use “man or woman”?
In: Culture
While I agree that there are better ways to refer to “humankind” these days, “man” had the same meaning historically.
Society and it’s language has basically evolved and progressed to using terminology that is better and more appropriate.
I am unsure if the same issue exists in many other languages and cultures but I am now kind of curious if it is?
