Jo:
Are they really people who see the tag man_made and go:

Oh, women didn't contribute to this! The tag says so...

The same people that think that man_made=manhole* implies access:women=no

But i guess that would become human_made=humanhole

We will also have to make it healthcare=midhuman

Isn't it obvious that man in this case stands for its original meaning: Mensch, ser humano, etc?

Changing it in the database is trivially easy. Letting everyone who uses OSM data know and give them a chance to adapt to the change, not so much.

    In addition to this, it increases revision and changeset counts needlessly.
