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.

I'm pretty sure my boss is male, but how can I be certain?

Check between the legs, if there are dangle bits it's a male. Although, I've heard some members of the "Boss" species can suck their genitals up into their bodies to prevent reproductive damage during long winded battles, more commonly known as "meetings".

Because askin your boss if they're male or female would be less insulting. XD
Face it, if you have to check, or ask, you're fired.
What if my building doesn't have a room 103?

That's not proof. They can fashion artificial "dangly bits" to make a woman look like a man, but sorry, Bradley (or whatever he changed his name to) has a Y chromosome so he's still a man, with or without "dangly bits". If you have no Y chromosome, you are not "da man". And so far they haven't found a way to change your Ys to Xes or vice-versa.
Of course, it could be said the "woman" is a contraction for "womb man" (except "Loretta" will never have a womb). "Where's the baby going to gestate??" In that case I guesss a woman coule be "da man".

I choose insensitive clod since it's gender neutral.

Why are all of your options in answering this question male?
The poll includes options 4, 5 and 7 that can be male or female.
