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.
