I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Yes, but women can't be men although they can be surgically altered to look like men. We still can't change an X chromosome into a Y chromosome. So "da man" is kind of silly, especially considering its roots. It started in the slave days, when slaves were not considered human, but working farm animals like dogs and horses. When a slaver couldn't supervise the slaves because of some errand, he'd delegate one of the "farm animals" to be "the man".
"The Man" comes from slavery.
