Person Pages, not MEN Pages

It is obvious that it is sexist to call them that.  Call them person pages from now on so that hackers who identify as female or indeterminate gender will not be offended.

"Manual" derives ultimately from the Latin manus which means "hand," denoting intent and operation.  Think verbs like manipulate and manage.

The gender "man" derives from Middle English "mann," possibly inherited from something in Germanic or Gallic, and its oldest useage was collective, gender-neutral.  There is also manav in Sanskrit which is said to come from the name of the first human in Hinduism - Manu.  Of the latter two, popular belief suggests one may have inspired the other.
