Usage notesModificar

The principal sense of the word is an adult male human, not a generic human, which explains the awkwardness of the following sentence:

• Man, like other mammals, breastfeeds his young.^[1]

Nonsexist language advocates recommend the use of human, human being, humankind, and person depending on contexts instead of man.

SynonymsModificar

• (adult male human): omi (Polari)

AntonymsModificar

• woman
• boy
