Not sure why you got down voted because you are absolutely right

we don't know
society ascribes everything to the male

If we defaulted to "he or she (they probably)" then things would be better but we simply don't. It is always the man's contribution and it's disappointing

We should have a neologism for gender neutral version of "mankind" definitely.
I am just this one person always pushing a stick into an anthill every time gender is assumed out of preference and getting all the hate from both sides.
