What you say makes perfect sense.I had really problem with it here. For me, addressing man is like a human being. I don't just take it as a label for men. I understand that women can be affected, but on this site it is simply impossible to tell who is a man and who is a woman.
There are so many nationalities that even if it sounds feminine in your mother tongue, the reader may not understand it.
This isn't up to me, nor is it in the game, but I've encountered this several times and I just don't know how to prevent this situation.
I don't think it's possible to prevent it, nor do I think it's particularly important to do so.
Hence the emote in my reply, to not give the impression I had taken offense or anything.
