So ... mankind is fine, but in our fantasy work we should refer to manwolves in the neutral-plural, with werewolf and wyfwolf reserved for circumstances where gender-specificity is important?
If you think "werewolf" is sexist, I would recommend "lycanthrope" as an alternative, rather than "manwolf".
I did not say "mankind is fine" I said that it's etymology is not sexist. The word is not "mankind" because only men count, the word is "mankind" because when it was made up "man" included all people.
That said, it's frustrating when perfectly good words like mankind are labelled as offensive because people either misunderstand their origins, ignore the intent with which they are used, or are simply looking for reasons to be offended.
