    There’s a theory that, at one time, “man” was a gender neutral term for persons and we called males “weremen” and obviously women “women”

    That probably isn’t true, but it’s fun to think about a world where that was reversed.

    EDIT Also evidently there was wifmann and wapman, which is an even funnier world to imagine.
