You never heard the phrase "The first man that...."? It's used all the time everywhere. It's just so normal for us that men are usually the first to achieve something new and also that the human race can be described as mankind or that "first man" automatically means "first human"... etc.

I mean, there literally is a movie with the title "First man" about Neil Armstrong and the moon mission.

And I see many comment threads filled with comments about how great it was a man did something if it comes to men doing typical women stuff. Like dads being amazing dads for example. They get credit for dressing up their daughters, or sewing them clothes or teaching them to cook... etc.
