Why is the "man" page somehow better?

It's at least short for manual.

Because a shortening of "Manual" is not gendered. "Bro" is.

This isn't an answer. It's still a reminder of genderedness just as much as bro is. The word "niggardly" is offensive to some because of its similarity to the n-word. That doesn't make its offense less real.

Intent, and context, matters.

Isn't this whole argument about that people can feel excluded regardless of intent/context?

Because of context.

I know that's lost on a lot of people here, but it's pretty important when considering things like this.
