No.
"Man" has been a general term for humanity in the English language since
time immemorial.
It is only feminists who wish to divide humanity along gender lines who
have a problem with "man" as a term of reference. Such argumentation is
deliberately divisive, and serves no purpose.
There is no need for the change, or a pointless discussion about such a
change.
Please lets get on with making an awesome map.

Hi,
It occurred to me that "man_made" is an outdated term that should be
phased out from OpenStreetMap language. The philosophy of OpenStreetMap
is very inclusive and that should be represented even in the way data is
tagged. I'd like to propose to change the key from "man_made" to
"human_made" and start a discussion on it. Many parts of society are
trying to implement a more inclusive language, NASA for instance has
changed "manned missions" to "crewed missions". I think it is an
important goal to make OSM inclusive whenever there is a choice.
Thanks!
