But wait, can the PC police explain why human/humanity is better than man? it also has “man” in it. So does Woman. Once man is erased from the English language, what do you do with these words/phrases?

manila envelope
manifest destiny (although the PC police probably wouldn’t let that one get by in any case)
manifold
mania/manic
manipulate
mandible
mandarin
manage/management
mannequin
etc.
