Citation needed, especially as you imply one but don't (AFAICT?) supply
a link to it. I'd be especially curious to know whether there is an
observable difference in people's mental image of "men", when used in a
sense to refer to humans generically, and e.g. "people".
Also:
> The word 'Man' in the Old English sense 'mann' had the primary meaning of "adult male human"
Citation needed, particularly as the other thread contains a statement
which directly contradicts this.
