Yes.

Who determined that there had to be a gender neutral term? How did male become the default to the point where female is figuratively (and sometimes literally) invisible in society?

Oh, I get it--it's because Adam was a male and Eve came from his rib..........

Either case, going back and forth with you on this is the same as going back and forth with macallan if you also fail to see the social significance of it all.
