Probably too late at this point. "X-Men" is too iconic at this point.

"Men" stands for the family of man in this context, doesn't it?

It does. Still it sounds like something from sixties.

I might go with the lesser known name for mutants in the setting, "The Children of the Atom."

Just call them Team X

"But D-Lo, there already is a Team X!"

Yeah, but hopefully we don't ever have to go into Wolverines past enough to even reference that.

As a kid I always felt there was something cool about how Xavier, when sometimes referring to an individual girl team member, would call them an X-Men.

Like it would be easy to just say X-Woman or X-Girl or whatever, but he still said X-Men. Gave the impression that the title was something that stood for something beyond gender that anyone could be.

But then I read some of the comics and realized the X-Men are all terrible people and the series was basically an insufferable soap opera and the title lost its luster lol

She doesn't seem to understand that men in X-men isn't being used as X-Male in the title.

It's being used the same way mankind is used, which is a gender neutral term for human beings.

Shes an overweight middle-aged woman who probably loathes the typical comic fan. It shouldnt be surprising that shes out of touch. Not to mention how utterly stupid it would be to ditch a brand as strong as X-Men.

They thought the fucking Inhumans would be a suitable replacement lmfao

What do you think of this idea I had?... we just clearly define the words man and men as referring to all humans, as in the human species, which would not be inaccurate, but as a compromise, we undefine it as also meaning male humans and make up a new word for that? Like all people are men, female people are women and male people are some new word, like "non-women" or something? Do you think that would be an acceptable compromise that at least most people could agree upon?

YT talking heads about to start making those videos to take advantage from all the outrage clicks to pay for next months rent.

Maybe we should go back to "woman" and "wereman".
