I adapted to "humankind" long ago, altho stuff like this reminds me of the DC writer who, tongue in cheek, said a woman should be called a "woperchild". Replace the offensive "man" with "person", and the offensive "son" with "child".

I've tried out "humankind" a few times , just doesn't feel right to me. Not for trying to hold onto any "manliness", mankind just sounds agreeable.
Tho careful of that slope, humankind may turn into anthropoidkind!

It seems the far left is determined to NEVER be outdone by the far right!

If the term "manhole cover" offends you, you may have bigger issues.

I say humanity rather than mankind or humankind for no particular reason.

I’m not sure enforcing really dumb rules to be inoffensive really compares to rallying around deporting non-white Americans and taking away women’s options for unwanted pregnancies.
