The world has gone mad - can I say that as it has the word man in it?

Andy all you need to do is substitue 'AB' for 'Click bait' in your last paragraph and you've hit the nail on the head lol!

Ignore my last answer please. A senior moment meant that I could not spell mad - in my mind just then it was mand. Oh dear!

Google, "man-made", mankind... etc, refers to humans. Women are human.

//As for "woman", I've heard it said that it comes from "man with a womb"!//

No, it's religious. Woman means "from a man" , female means "from a male", person means "through a son".
