Quote:In English man (pl. men) lower case refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent).
Adult = 18+ ... Man = Adult ...
Therefore, you're not a "man", you're male, but not a man. Even when 18 (or older), you may legally be a man, but it's more to be a man than having a law state you are.
