MAN (нем. man — неопределенно-личное местоимение) — понятие, введенное в «Бытии и Времени» Хайдеггера (1927) при анализе неподлинного существования человека. Хай-деггер отмечает, что существует такая озабоченность настоящим, которая превращает человеческую жизнь в «боязливые хлопоты», в прозябание повседневности. Основная черта подобной заботы — ее нацеленность (как практически-деятельного, так и теоретического моментов) на наличные предметы, на преобразование мира. С одной стороны, сама эта нацеленность анонимна и безлика, с другой — она погружает человека в безличный мир (М.), где все анонимно. В этом мире нет и не может быть субъектов действия, здесь никто ничего не решает, и поэтому не несет никакой ответственности. Анонимность М. «подсказывает» человеку отказаться от своей свободы (толпа как выразитель М. не принимает осмысленных решений и не несет ни за что ответственности) и перестать быть самим собой, стать «как все». Мир М. строится на практике отчуждения; в этом мире все — «другие», даже по отношению к самому себе человек является «другим»; личность умирает, индивидуальность растворяется в усредненно-сти. «Мы наслаждаемся и забавляемся, как наслаждаются; мы читаем, смотрим и судим о литературе и искусстве, как видят и судят; мы удаляемся от «толпы», как удаляются; мы находим «возмутительным» то, что находят возмутительным». Главная характеристика мира повседневности — это стремление удержаться в наличном, в настоящем, избежать предстоящего, т.е. смерти. Сознание человека здесь не в состоянии отнести смерть (конечность, временность) к самому себе. Для повседневности смерть — это всегда смерть других, всегда отстранение от смерти. Это приводит к размытости сознания, к невозможности обнаружить и достичь своей собственной сущности (самости). Повседневный способ бытия характеризуется бессодержательным говорением, любопытством и двусмысленностью, которые формируют «обреченность миру», растворение в совместном бытии, в среднем. Попытка вырваться из беспочвенности М., прояснить условия и возможности своего существования, может осуществляться лишь благодаря совести, которая вызывает существо человека из потерянности в анонимном, призывает человека к «собственной способности быть самостью».

лат.) — в философии существования персонифицированное общественное мнение. Мы наслаждаемся и развлекаемся, как наслаждаются другие; мы читаем, смотрим и судим о литературе и искусстве, как смотрят и судят все; но мы так же избегаем «большой толпы», как избегают ее другие; мы находим возмутительным то, что принято находить таковым. И эти другие (Man) — не кто-то определенный, а все, хотя и не сумма, — предписывают форму бытия повседневности (М. Хайдеггер). Это Man вызывает постоянное искушение довериться ему, отдать себя ему во власть, запутаться в нем и стать чужим самому себе (см. Коллектив). В этическом смысле Man представляет собой противоположность индивидуальности; относительно Man вполне уместен категорический императив, где личность в силу морали «равной справедливости» (которая гарантирует личности только право защиты) становится так же бесправна, как она бесправна по отношению к этому Man. В психологии Man есть коррелят «мы»; как член некоего Man я есть часть какой-то целостности, а как участник «мы» я вхожу в некую систему отношений. . смотреть

tulipomania
A violent passion for the acquisition or cultivation of tulips; — a word said by Beckman to have been coined by Menage. ✍ In Holland, in the first half of the 17th century, the cultivation of tulips became a mania. It began about the year 1634, and, like a violent epidemic, seized upon all classes of the community, leading to disasters and misery such as the records of commerce or of bankruptcies can scarcely parallel. In 1636, tulip marts had been established in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Haarlem, Leyden, and various other towns, where tulip bulbs were sold and resold in the same manner as stocks are on the Stock Exchange of London.

EDIT: Having found out that my answer has been voted down by three people, I have decided to revisit the topic and explain in a bit more detail my view regarding some cases of man-formations being suffixes rather than compound members. In order to do so, I have summarized my views at the very end of my answer and provided two corroborating quotations from references I have recently discovered on the Internet.
I don’t think this is an easy question to answer, because whether a particular morph/component represents an affix rather than a compound member may differ from word to word, depending on a number of factors. In addition, you may need to specify what exactly you mean by English, because there seem to be differences from variety to variety.
As you know, there is a continuum spanning from phrases to compounds to derivations to inflections on the one hand, just as there is one spanning from free forms to enclitics to bound forms (and that is already a simplification) on the other, so it may be difficult to define rules differentiating between them within a particular language, and, perhaps, sometimes we may simply have to accept the fact that a particular word represents a transitional formation. Terms such as affixoid have sometimes been applied to formatives occupying the position somewhere between affixes and compound members by linguists.
Now, it’s true that phonological reduction may be an indicator of the component’s being an affix, but that’s just one aspect of the formal side of the equation. You may also want to look at the semantics, and ask yourself questions such as «Is the meaning of the resultant form predictable from the meaning of its components?» and «If so, in what ways and to what extent?» Cross-linguistically, however, semantic criteria have shown to be not quite reliable either.
As far as the man-words in English are concerned, you may need to look into things such as «when the word was coined» and «whether the differences in pronunciation correlate with that», but that may only reveal the diachronic origin and may not be relevant from synchronic perspective. Speaking of which, I have come across an interesting Language Log post here followed by a discussion you may also find worth reading. And here‘s another page worth looking at (referred to from the Language Log post, in fact, and presumably by linguist Byron W. Bender).
You can also compare the -man component with, say, the suffix -er. Adding the latter to a verbal base XV derives the «doer of X«. But what exactly does the former derive when we add it to a nominal base XN? How exactly does the -man derive the new meanings? How regular and predictable is the outcome? And if we split -man to -man1 and -man2, i.e. /mən/ or /mn̩/ and /mæn/, respectively, does the division correlate with anything in the language (e.g. geographical or dialectal distribution, semantic transparency, period of coinage)? How restrictive are the rules combining -man with X as to its form and part of speech? What about words such as snowman [ˈsnəʊ.ˌmæn] and frogman [ˈfrɒɡ.mən / ˈfrɒɡ.mn̩]? And so forth.
Some of these questions may prove to be more relevant than others, of course, and there may be a number of different angles depending on ones linguistic-theoretical background. I could restate my current opinion here, namely that -man may be seen as (becoming) a suffix in some words while a compound member in others, correlating at least in part with the relative recentness of their coinage and the two pronunciation variants reflecting this. The situation is somewhat reminiscent of the history of like, which has (1) remained an independent word (though transformed into a preposition, hence like a man), (2) became a transparently cognate suffix(oid) (manlike) and (3) evolved into a non-transparently cognate suffix (manly). Something limilar might happen to man if its semantics gets reduced, which is difficult to predict.
I hope you will find at least some of my thoughts useful. To read more on the issue of demarcating the borders between compounds and derivations, you may want to have a look at Angela Ralli’s Compounding versus Derivation (pre-publication draft available as a PDF here), for example, and I’d suggest that you also read Understanding Morphology by Haspelmath & Sims (2010, 2nd edition).
Other references worth reading include Sign Language: An International Handbook by Pfau, Steinbach & Woll (2012) and Morphology Now by Aronoff (1992). I offer two quotations below, one from the former (p. 103), the other from the latter (p. 71):
How can one identify affixes in a language? What distinguishes them from compound members? First, and affix recurs in the language, co-occurring with many different base words, while compound members are confined to few bases. The suffix -ness, for example, is listed as occurring in 3058 English words (Aronoff/Anshen 1998, 245), while green (as in greenhouse, greengrocer, greenmail) occurs in about 30. In addition, affixes are more distant from their free word origin. While members of compounds usually also occur as free words in the language, affixes in many cases do not. Therefore, a morpheme that recurs in many lexical items in a language and in addition does not appear as a free form is an affix and not a compound member. Finally, allomorphy is much more typical of affixes than of compound members. This is to be expected, since affixes are more fused with their bases than compound members with each other. However, the difference between an affix and a compound member is a matter of degree, not a categorical difference, and can be hard to determine in particular cases.
And, more importantly:
According to [Grammaticization Theory], affixes go back to earlier lexical items that are reduced semantically and phonologically and become bound to the stem. For many English affixes the diachronic origin in a full lexical item has long been known to historical linguistis — for example, -hood (cf. Gothic haidus ‘kind, manner’), -dom (cf. Old English (OE) dōm ‘judg[e]ment, doom’, Old High German tuom ‘position, condition’), -less (cf. OE lēas ‘devoid (of), free (from)’), -ly (OE -līc, second member of exocentric compounds based on Germanic *līk- ‘appearance, form, body’; thus friend-ly is originally ‘having the appearance of a friend’). For some English affixes, the origin in free lexical items is to some degree even synchronically transparent — for example, -ful (cf. full), -man (cf. man).
Summary:
- First of all, we need to restrict ourselves to cases in which -man shows reduced pronunciation, namely /mn̩/;
- Since this may differ variety from variety, we need to stick to a single variety at a time; after all, a variety (such as a dialect) can and should be considered a system of its own, with its own rules etc.;
- We need to check whether the reduction is phonologically or otherwise conditioned, i.e. whether we can predict it from things such as word-length, its components etc. Quite clearly, we cannot — if we are to believe the above-mentioned sources. Examples like <Batman> /ˈbæt.ˌmæn/ vs. <batman> /ˈbæt.mn̩/ vs. (hypothetical) *<bat man> /ˌbæt.ˈmæn/ appear to prove this. See also no. 8.
- Orthography is a source of bias we need to take into account, hence the spelling <man> shared by both /mæn/ and /mn̩/ has to be considered irrelevant.
- Now, unlike /mæn/, /mn̩/ doesn’t ever appear as an independent word. In my view, the latter form is much closer to being a suffix, whereas the former is indubitably closer to being a compound member instead.
- Even though it is obvious that it was a specific stress pattern that has given rise to the reduced pronunciation, and that the formations once were true compounds, strictly synchronically, they need not to be, just like in woman, which is not only not a compound synchronically, it should even be considered monomorphematic in my view. Again, bear in mind that spelling has to be ignored here.
- The relevance of the fact that literate native speakers consider a word as a compound may also be questioned, mainly due to the above-mentioned spelling bias, but also due to synchronic co-existence of affixes and words sharing similar origin and parallel miniparadigms (the connection of /-mn̩/ to /mæn/ may well be secondarily reinforced by the homophonous /wʊ.mn̩/ ~ /-wʊ.mn̩/).
-
We could provisionally assume that the words mentioned in no. 3 represent the continuum (a) derivative ~ (b) compound ~ (c) phrase and generalize the pattern based on stress:
- a. primary-none
- b. primary—secondary
- c. secondary—primary.

- Формирование поля семем суффикса –MAN.
Известный советский лингвист [9] считает, что с морфема –man является суффиксом и образует слова со значением «лица или действующего лица, связанного с предметом или действием, выраженным основой». Однако, полный набор семем, количество слов с каждой семемой, хронология формирования поля семем, сведения о внутренней и внешней валентности, продуктивности и других характеристиках на данный момент не известны. Многие лингвисты морфему –man суффиксом не считают [1; 8; 10; 13]. Составители крупнейших толковых словарей английского языка [14; 16] называют эту морфему термином «combiningform».
Поскольку современного полного описания деривационной морфемы -MAN не существует, мы поставили своей задачей дать такое описание. Полный список лексем с -man был получен путем сплошного анализа толкового словаря [16], содержащего 600 тыс. словарных статей. В качестве источника структурно-семантической информации был взят крупнейший в мире диахронический словарь [14] объёмом в 616 тыс. статей, из которого была извлечена вся релевантная информация о 1301 лексеме с –MAN. Методика научного описания деривационных морфем английского языка разработана нами ранее [2–7].
Рассмотрим хронологию появления характерных значений для слов, образованных с помощью суффикса –man (Табл.1).

Анализ полученных данных позволил установить, что четко выделяются 5 семем.
Ряд значений лексем в словаре не имеет четко выраженной семемы, или значение в словаре не указывается (представлены в столбике unformalized), например, thresherman, weighbridgeman, rewruteman, quasiman, sheaveman, etc.
Наиболее многочисленными являются лексемы с семемой «person, man» (лицо, деятель), они составляют 71,40 %. Например: linkman — a person serving as a link between groups of people; kinsman — a man of one’s own kin; carman — an adult person; craneman — a man in charge of a crane; wild man — a man of savage; bondman — a man in bondage; churchman — a man of the church, slaughterman — one who kills, etc. Изних 25 % (403 слова) составляютвысокочастотныеслова, например: penman a man employed to use the pen for another; serviceman a man ho serves, or has served, in the armed forces; chinaman a native of China. Низкочастотныесоставляют 75 % лексемс даннойсемемой (1197 слов), например: remainderman the person to whom a remainder is devised; javelinman a soldier armed with a javelin; dairyman a man engaged in the sale of milk and other diary produce.
Менее многочисленными являются семемы «object» (неодушевленный предмет), они составляю 4,37 %. Например: guinea-man a vessel trading to the coast of Guinea, a slave ship; iron-man a kind of iron-ore; straitsman — a ship suitable for the Straits; greenlandman a vessel engaged in the Greenland whale-fishery, etc. Изних 24,5 % (24 слова) составляютвысокочастотные, например: Scotchman a name of Scottish express; Peterman some kind of beer; fisherman a fishing boat. Низкочастотныесоставляют 75,6 % лексемс даннойсемемой (74 словa), например: snowman a mass of snow made into the figure of a man; swordfisherman a vessel employed in fishing for swordfish; hookerman a ship.
Около 2 % составляют лексемы с семемой «animal, bird, fly, fish». Например: waterboatman a water bug of the families Notonectidae or Corixidae; policeman a soldier-ant; spearman an insect name, etc. Из них 39 % (16 слов) составляют высокочастотные, например: foremana goose; а 61 % (25 слов) низкочастотные, например: roman — a marinefish.
Семема «mythonim» составляет 0,54 %. Например: merman the male of mermaid; seaman the male of mermaid; etc. Из них 42 % (5 слов) составляют высокочастотные слова, например: Hillmananelfortroll; а а 58 % (7 слов) низкочастотные, например: bullmana monsterhalfbullhalfman.
Семема «plant» 0,40 %. Например: Frenchman plants, whose leaves do not spreand and grow large, but rather spire upwards, and grow tall; footman a moth of the family Lithosiidae, etc. Изних 78 % (7 слов) составляютвысокочастотныеслова, например: Scotchman name for a smaller kind of a bushy grass, а 22 % (2 слова) низкочастотные, например: greenman a name for Aceras anthropophora.
Остальные значения (21,46 %) не формализуются.
Таким образом из 5 семем самой продуктивной является семема «person» 71,40 %, а наименее продуктивной семема «plant» (0,40 %).
Диахронический анализ процесса формирования значений показывает следующее:
Первоначально слова с формантом –man появлялись с семемой «person», которая является и самой многочисленной. Начиная с VIII века, количество лексем с данной семемой увеличивалось, и в XIX веке достигло 322, а в XX 165 лексем.
Постепенно лексемы с элементом –man начинают образовывать и другие семемы, так, например, в XVI веке появляются такие семемы, как «plant» и «animal». Семема «object» появляется еще в Х веке, тем самым она является второй по времени появления, а также по количеству лексем.
Таким образом, семантическое поле суффикса –man начало формироваться в VIII веке, и за тринадцать веков суффикс приобрел такие значения, как виды животных, растений, предметы, а также мифологические существа. Но 21,46 % значений не формализуются.
2. Формирование стилистических помет вдиахронии.
В ходе анализа 1301 лексем с суффиксом –man было обнаружено, что некоторые из них содержат определенные стилистические пометы. В результате анализа было установлено следующее (Табл. 2).

Рассматривая каждую стилистическую помету в отдельности, можно отметить следующее.
Стилистическая помета «obsolete» (около 40 % всех стилистических помет) наблюдается во всех веках. Наибольшее количество этих помет встречается у лексем, возникших в XVII веке. В XIX и XX веках всего по 2 лексемы имеют данную стилистическую помету, но это является естественным, потому что большинство стилистических помет «obsolete» приходится на слова, которые просуществовали 3–4 и более веков. С современной точки зрения они являются устаревшими. Например: bondman (1250), yeoman ((1440), clergyman (1609), cogman (1389), lighthorseman (1688), blockman (1570), topman (1513). 45 % этих помет приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: showman, fireman, gentleman, footman, alderman; а 55 % составляют низкочастотные слова, например: landman, cogman, waterman, husbandman, headsman.
Стилистическая помета «slang» (17,4 %) наблюдается с XVI века, причем количество лексем с данной пометой увеличивается с веками. Таким образом, если в XVI веке встретилась одна лексема (lightmans (1567)), то в XIX и XX веках встретилось 20 и 13 данных стилистических помет соответственно. Например: snowman (1967), Needleman (1925), fancyman (1811), familyman (1846), dustman (1877). 26 % этих помет приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: knifeman, penman, alderman, Peterman, whiteman; а 74 % составляют низкочастотные слова, например: oldman, deadman, bagman, axeman, Needleman, rodman, mainyardman.
Стилистическая помета «rare» (12,9 %) наблюдается с XIII века и существует до XIX века. Больше всего этих помет встретилось в XVII веке, например: bellman (1617), questman (1691), headsman (1673). 24 % всех лексем «rare» приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: trencherman, spokesman, penman; а 76 % на низкочастотные, например: ragman, yeoman, titheman, whipman, gownsman.
Стилистическая помета «colloquial» встречается всего в четырех веках: XVI, XVII, XIX, XX. Наибольшее количество этих помет встречается в XIX веке, например: wheelman (1881), dustman (1821), waterman (1888), chinaman (1854). 33 % разговорных слов отноятся к высокочастотным, например: chinaman, Dutchman, Frenchman; а 67 % к низкочастотным, например: masterman, wheelman, medicineman, birdman.
Стилистическая помета «dialect» составляет 5,8 % и встречается с XIII по XIX века, наибольшее количество приходится на XIX век, например: masterman (1885), potman (1889), witchman (1851), snowman (1893). 38 % диалектных слов приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: pickman, chapman, footman; а 62 % приходится на низкочастотные слова, например: masterman, potman, statesman, whipman.
Помета «historic» составляет 5,4 % всех стилистических помет, она также встречается с XIII по XIX века, наибольшее количество приходится на XVII век, например: guineaman (1695), greenman (1682), kingsman (1639). 25 % приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: minuteman, goodman, а 75 % на низкочастотные слова, например: greenman, kingsman, questman.
Стилистическая помета «archaic» составляет 4,5 % всех помет, она встречается с XIV по XVI века, наибольшее количество приходится на XV век, например: almsman (1483), merchantman (1449), daysman (1489). 50 % всех помет приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: shipman, goodman, beadsman; а 50 % приходится на низкочастотные, например: foeman, yeoman, daysman.
Стилистическая помета «nonce-word» представляет 2,7 % от всех стилистических помет, она встречается в XVI и XIX веках, по 3 в каждом веке. Например: daysman (1598), middleman (1845). 17 % всех помет приходится на высокочастотные слова, а 83 % на низкочастотные, например: waterman, guineaman.
Такие стилистические пометы, как «poetic», «vulgar», «jocular» составляют около 1 % каждая, они встречаются с XVI по XIX века. 62 % этих помет приходится на высокочастотные слова, например: seaman (poet.), goodman (joc.), gentleman (joc.); а 38 % на низкочастотные, например: youngman (vulg.), gemman (vulg), foeman (poet.).
Таким образом, можно отметить, что всего было выявлено 224 стилистических пометы, т. е. около 15 % всех лексем с формантом –man имеют стилистическую окраску. Наибольшим количеством стилистических помет отличаются XVII и XIX века (по 46 помет в каждом соответственно), а наиболее многочисленной пометой является «obsolete». Она составляет около 40 % всех стилистических помет лексем, образованных с помощью форманта –man. С точки зрения частотности лексем, распределение стилистических помет происходит почти одинаково среди высокочастотных и низкочастотных слов, но 63 % приходится на низкочастотные, а 37 % на высокочастотные.

Если рассматривать каждую терминологическую помету, то можно обнаружить, что наиболее многочисленной группой будут термины с пометой «Mining» (14,7 %), например: wasteman (1812), reddsman (1808), shotman (1905), fireman (1866). Так же можно выделить термины «Naut» (13,2 %), например: libertyman (1758), topman (1748), scotchman (1841) и «Football» (7,4 %), например: lineman (1907). Остальные термины встречаются намного реже, и их количество составляет 1–3, т. е. 4,4–1,5 % соответственно.
У высокочастотных слов преобладающими терминологическими пометами будут «Mining», «Naut» и «Criket», например: fireman (mining), scotchman (naut), chinaman (criket). У низкочастотных слов преобладающие терминологические пометы включают «Mining», «Naut» и «Football», например: landsman (naut), wasteman (mining), targetman (football). Высокочастотные слова составляют только 18 % от всех лексем с терминологическими помета, поэтому можно предположить, что чем чаще слово встречается, тем меньше у него терминологических помет.
Таким образом, среди лексем с суффиксом –man зафиксировано 68 терминов, наибольшим количеством терминов отмечен XIX век, а наиболее многочисленными являются терминологические пометы «Mining» и «Naut.»
4. Фонемное тяготение морфемы —man
Фонемное тяготение является важной характеристикой статуса суффикса. Фонемным тяготением называют «избирательное присоединение словообразовательного форманта к основам с определенными фонемами» [2–5; 15].
Результаты анализа фонемного тяготения суффикса –man представлены в таблице 4.

Установлено, что на морфемном шве между производящей основой и суффиксом –man встречается 36 фонемы, из них 19 согласных и 17 гласных. Таким образом, фонемное тяготение суффикса –man выражается величиной Ph=36.
Самыми многочисленными являются финали производящих основ с исходами на следующие фонемы: [z] (11,61 %), [ә] (11,76 %), на которые в сумме приходится 23,37 % исходов. На следующие 5 фонемных исходов приходится 40,58 %: [s] (9,76 %), [t] (9,07 %), [l] (8,07 %), [i] (7,38 %), [d] (6,30 %). Следовательно, на 7 фонемных исхода приходится 63,95 % всех случаев. На остальные 29 фонем приходится 36,05 % исходов. Это указывает на существование избирательного присоединения суффикса –man к определенным финальным фонемам производящих основ. Приведем примеры фонемного тяготения суффикса –man.

Английский (американский вариант)
To expand on this answer, @Gregpwx doesn’t mean to replace «fireman» with «firewoman» but to attach the suffix to the appropriate gender.
Businessman and businesswoman are two words that have been commonly used for a long time, and other words are becoming more similarly gender-neutral.

Do you think the suffix -man shouldn’t be used when talking about women working in a job? alot of the jobs that end in -man have been replaced by
-person or something else policeman-police officer fireman-fire fighter mailman-mail carrier. Is the suffix -man OK or wrong to use in that sense?
If I were a woman, and someone called me a fireman, I would feel offended. Women can do almost any man’s job today, and we should show them a little respect by not calling them something-man. I think the replacement of man in job names is substatiated.
what about the saying, All men are created equal?
What if you were a woman and someone called you a human … or a woman, for that matter. Are we going to go so far as to change these to «huperson» and «woperson»?
But then even «person» has «-son» in it so should we change it to something more neutral … «child» for instance? Then we could have «huperchild» and «woperchild». They’ve got a nice ring to them, ay.
I don’t think that the suffix «-man» is wrong. The word «man» refers not only to males but to all people. There is one sense of the word in which it refers to males and there is another sense in which it refers to a human or the human race.
The best solution would be to coin a new word for the male sense of the word «man». This would leave the word «man» without it’s percieved sexist connotations … or at least potentially it would. How about the word «homan»? The real difficulty is that such a word might never catch on.
It’s probably going to be hard going if you intend going down that path. So Besides coining a new word we’ve got two options keep the suffix «-man» or replace it as Jaro suggests.
As much as I might want to argue that there really isn’t anything wrong with «-man» some women (or should that be «woperchildren»?) will still be offended. Further, the suffix sort just doesn’t seem to quite fit anyway, somehow.
So I’ve got no problem either way but if it shows women respect lets come up with new words.
the words person and human do not contain those words, man and son as suffixes they’re just a part of the word, just like in Jackson, Johnson, Robinson, and Davidson.
Yes but -man, many of those names are from the patriarchal societies where a child takes the name of his or her father and adds -son or -datter. Now of course the entire name is just passed on, but that’s what they used to do in Viking societies at least.
datter that is a crazy word.
Like Californian says the names «Jackson», «Johnson», «Robinson» and «Davidson» are all formed by adding «-son». So if the «-son» in «person» is the same as the «-son» in these surnames, as you say it is, then it very much means son. Therefore, shouldn’t we show women respect and refrain from using the word «person» to describe them?
How are you getting about making this distinction between what is a suffix and what is just a part of a word? Take a word and add a suffix and you form a new word. The suffix is part of the new word.
The «-man» in «policeman», «fireman» and «mailman» is as much a part of the word as that in «human».
Well, I think the present connotation when one says «a man gave me something» is that a MALE person gave you that thing. You don’t ask, «was the man male or female?» So if you use the word «man» in any sense, it seems to imply that the person is male.
I think if you say «a policeman stopped me» that people, at least in the US, assume the policeman is male and do not ask «was it a female policeman?» Therefore, more gender neutral words are required in order to avoid confusion of meaning.

People say policewoman too you know! lol
Californian — I say «womanpolice». Is it wrong??
Jaro —
«…..If I were a woman, and someone called me a fireman, I would feel offended. Women can do almost any man’s job today….»
Oh really. If I and my friends put off our clothes completely on the streets right infront of many people, can girls/women do the same right infront of many people?
I got this coversation dialogue from an Hindi movie. It was so interesting to hear it when boys and guys were arguing each other on that issue. That’s to say, ‘Girls and boys were equal.’ Girls could do anything that boys could do. Then boys said, «we could put off our clothes, could you do the same.»
Then, oponent girls had no answer for that question.
Why should we care so much about it?

Dr. Jim Issac Newton, May I ask you a question, please?
«Put sth on» means to cover your body with (clothes…etc).
When you use ‘on’ with ‘put’, that means to wear something in order to cover your body. So why is incorrect to say ‘off’ with ‘put’ in order to remove your clothes from your body.
Boy,
I know this question was for Jim, but I don’t think he’d mind if I gave it a whirl. To put something onto something else, you place the thing (in this case clothes) onto the other object (the body). To remove something, one must take it off. You’re taking the clothes off the body…you cannot «put» clothes off…you can, however, put clothes away, i.e. in a drawer, dresser, closet etc. You’re bringing them to the closet or putting them there.
I hope this all makes sense.
