Hasn't this been done to death already? Aren't we aware that the use of ,man' as a generic term for human or people just doesn't work no matter the history of the word. Our minds automatically invision a male figure. I spend my life trying to get my archaeology students not to write about 'stone age man'-it really does make it easy to ignore the role of women in society. Is it so difficult to talk about 'people' or to change definitions made at a time when the people that counted were all male. Excuse the rave but South African women are way from liberated and these issues are important here.
