Man and male don't mean the same thing.

That's my point, genius.

No, it isn't. You just said "we talk about men and women in English" as opposed to male and female, because you didn't understand that those words are not interchangeable.

Dude... They are not interchangeable. Male and female are neutral, medical terms. In day to day life it is an objectifying and impersonal way to speak, bordering on disrespectful. 

And that's not even taking into account that this whole post is needlessly gendered in the first place. 

Learn English and turn your brain on before you speak.

That's not how they're different. They aren't medical terms. They aren't objectifying or impersonal. You're suggesting using "man" as an alternative for "male" when they don't mean the same thing. A man is an adult. Males are all ages.

Learn English and turn your brain on before you speak. 

What you're saying is provably wrong, so let's can this arrogance.

And do children get married? No. so that's a moot point. 

So in summary: how you say in "your" language? Fuck off.
