The first "For context" explanation is better how I originally wrote it: "here, I use the word "man" and I mean man" Because - children also have genders (duh) and the word "man" makes a clear distinction between that and "boy" IDEK why I changed it to "male" - perhaps to further emphasize the gender part. This happens to me a lot BTW:
  1. I write something
  2. I re-read it, am not 100% happy with the wording or think something is ambiguous, edit it
  3. I post/publish it
  4. I re-read it again a day or two later and realize how I wrote it in the first place was actually a better way to say what I wanted to say :)
