Much of this you can blame on the feminists. They started this with the whole "man" thing. Saying things like "manhole cover" is "exclusive"... When you tell them to look up the etymology of the words "man" and "woman" they do not actually indicate gender. But they twist it anyway as all special interest groups do.
I suppose they will have to read off a list of the 14,957,811 genders before hand and someone will be counting. They will scream out "you forgot me! I am meagledik bokfucker! YOU EXCLUDED ME! I AM GOING TO SUE!
