yes, but it does not mean that people think of men when they read “mankind” or “man_made” or “mannequin” or “manslaughter” (the latter a suggestion from my ai partner). IMHO you have to separate the meaning of these terms from the meaning of “man”. 

I am not opposing the idea that people actively try to change the language for a purpose, but as long as they haven’t succeeded we should not try to overtake them.

 See the tags as codes and try to convince preset publishers to use terms that you perceive more neutral in their “translations”. Thinking about it, the term “man made” is maybe not even presented to mappers unless they look at tags.
