I agree you're damned if you do, damned if you don't, and you have my
sympathy.

However, I would like you to consider what our users get when they do a
Multimedia search for "male human" in Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&redirs=0&profile=images&search=male+human

Or try just "human":

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&redirs=0&profile=images&search=human

Is this the Wikimedia view of what humanity is about?

There are people in this movement who are happy with this status quo, and
who say they will fork if anything changes.

Let them.
