It might be interpreted that way if the interpreter thought I was a shallow idiot.  I
meant "man" in the neuter, of course.  I might have meant it in the sense that men are
generally the ones that cop-out on this issue.  Or, I might have meant it as "every man
here", since we are mostly men here.  But I didn't, I meant "every man", as "every
person", but the words "every man" are not usually misinterpreted to indicate sex.

Are you ready to defend your position now, or are you content to snipe at me from the
bushes?
