You're missing the point, the word "mankind" is inherently sexist.
So is "wo-man" "s-he" "fe-male" "he-r"
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

My bad.   Oh woman.

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

turns out he has 4 sisters
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.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

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.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Maybe there is a factory called china factory and this is all just a big misunderstanding.
