    If you think of it, it’s for the sad reason that men are kind of expected to be killed, by war, conflict, work, disease, etc. In a way the “default” for murder became related to how men most often die. This is still sexism, however.

      Even the term manslaughter. Though “man” is often meant to generically mean “human”, e.g. mankind or since the dawn of man.
