Mankind includes women.
The word Man in this context should be read as 'Human', not as a gender specific word. Those developments in terms of feminism are modern-age developments, most certainly not applicable to the setting the game is in, or in any historical context. And even today it is a completely nonsensical argument to me, but that is personal ofcourse.

You would have an argument if you could only pick the Man-At-Arms line on a male character though!
