As I recently saw in a video about bible translations: Greek used (uses?) generic masculine forms for plurals. So a mixed group of stewarts and stewardesses would be called "these stewarts". If there's no context added, it's impossible to tell whether the group was actually all male or not.
Stewards he said, gently mansplaining.
Well it's not like we use the words Wifman and Werman anymore.
Maybe you don't.
