Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?
I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.
Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?
I don’t understand the question. There are girl Lego Men and boy Lego Men.
