And "woman" (since it's also altered to "womxn") evolved from the term "wyfman", which stems from the days when "man" was the generic term for any person, regardless of gender. For males, the word was "wereman".
Really, if so they're hellbent on getting pissy over language, wouldn't it make a bit more sense to whinge about the implications of altering the word for "person" to refer to only males?
It's also kind of funny how SJWs will trace a term back to its centuries-old, long forgotten origin to prove that it's offensive, yet can't be arsed to look up the etymologies for words like "woman" and "history".
The word "the" is offensive for erasing þorn-kin.
