It’s not “insignificant” or “silly”. If someone feels that someone or something is prejudice against them because of their gender, race, orientation, etc, then it shouldn’t be thought of as “silly”. To that person, or people, it is significant. I understand that “man” can be used to mean mankind, however since this award is recognizing one individual or person, it seems more appropriate to make a simple change to “Person”. Also, you used the male pronoun “he” in the format for nomination instead of a neutral pronoun or “he/she”. Even Time magazine, who used to have a Man of the Year award changed it to Person of the Year, because of the issue of sexism. So, I, among others, still believe this should be changed.

I completely agree with this and ask that it be changed to "Person" instead of "Man", please and thank you. You got my vote Sparks!

Ya know I was almost finished typing up a long reply to these answers, but looking back at it, I think it would be beneficial for me to let it go. I'm very sorry for offending anyone. The 'silly' comment was unnecessary and I see how it could offend people. The insignificant comment had some truth to it because it was insignificant in comparison to the original post. I would never try to purposefully offend someone for no reason. I will stop arguing so this thread doesn't get locked. I'm sorry and Happy New Year.

This has gone from a man of the year event to a Female Rights Debate

It's also "extremely simple" to respect the opinions of lots of people and the discrimination some women are feeling about this post, and just change it. But that's not happening, so why should this? I've given what I believe are good points as to this argument, so I'm not just going to "zip [my] mouth". I'm going to fight for this. It may seem like a trivial thing, but it's not. I believe this title is sexist, so I'm going to disagree with it, and I have legitimate reasons to think so.

She has extremely legitimate points and I don't think your responses should be "stop talking about it" or "lets move past this", your response should be "yeah sure, it can be changed to 'Person' of the year' " Because it's just that simple.

In what way is it difficult

I think it’s a lot easier just to do “Person” or “Player”. If you do “WoMan” it can cause confusion, whereas “Person” is simple, and makes sense. Take a tip from Time magazine, who used to have a Man of the Year award, and changed it to Person of the Year.

As to why WoMan is difficult, I would say it’s because it can cause confusion, while Person is easy to understand. Everyone knows what a person is, but some people could think WoMan was just capitalized wrong.

The name is not "sexist", it doesn't express hate or discrimination against a person or group of people for the reason of their gender, however it is not very gender-inclusive and everyone would appreciate Player of the Year more.
