Perhaps you should actually look up the definition of man before you get too bent out of shape and break something...

From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/man

1.an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman.

2.a member of the species Homo sapiens or all the members of this species collectively, without regard to sex: prehistoric man.

3.the human individual as representing the species, without reference to sex; the human race; humankind: Man hopes for peace, but prepares for war.

4.a human being; person: to give a man a chance; When the audience smelled the smoke, it was every man for himself.

[ and many more definitions]

As you can see, #2 and #3 clearly support the usage of man as I used it.
