Havent read all replies, but ill tell you about spanish.

Man is said "hombre", and it has always said "hombre" for designing the whole humans. For example, we say "El hombre ha ganado muchas batallas a la naturaleza" which literally means "the man has achieved so many wins against nature". Lately (last 1 or 2 years) feminism is rising (and i dont think its bad) so now we say more "La humanidad" (mankind) instead of "el hombre" (the man). This is happening with lotsa words. For example, "médico" (medic) or "juez" (judge) have always been words for both male and female, but now some people has started to say "jueza" and "médica" when theyre female (in spanish female words often end in "a", and male in "o"), which isnt correct in our language, but its politically correct.
