    One simple google of the definition shows it includes all humans. The archaic (‘old meaning’, if you don’t know) meaning did refer to only men, but that’s nor the case anymore.

    It’s not the case anymore because through time and usage lsnguage evolved ( Like you said! ) and it evolved to encompass all humans! Crazy how language does that.

    However, for you to selfishly tout about all of this in a post Xompletely unrelated to any of this, and for you to call me an idiot and/or mysoginist because i simply didn’t agree with you on this, shoecases just how bad faith you were in the first place.

    Oh and what’s this? No one giving this much a fuck about this? https://old.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/1wdzcq/how_do_you_feel_about_the_word_mankind_or_the_use/

    Clearly you want to be feminist and do something and that’s great! Please tackle some actual problems instead of getting fired up over a word that has nothing to do with anything, hasn’t bothered anyone, and shouldn’t have been an issue to discuss about in a post on disrespecting Holocaust victims.

    Have a good day, and I hope you learn from your mistakes and develop some “Think twice before posting”
