You're missing the point, the word "mankind" is inherently sexist.
So is "wo-man" "s-he" "fe-male" "he-r"

Seriously, I wanted to point out your gendered language and ask you in the nicest way to change it going forward.

Somebody needs to add a doppelganger section there and include the DDF thread and the video of him telling the other side of that story.

Just company info...

Am I supposed to ask if she's a minor being held against her will?

There are no minors in China, and no one does anything, or is held, against their will in China.

ETA: anyone who had dealt with Chinese business over email might not be surprised by the writing style that ended up in Dan's inbox from a Chinese company.
