    Yes, but women can't be men although they can be surgically altered to look like men. We still can't change an X chromosome into a Y chromosome. So "da man" is kind of silly, especially considering its roots. It started in the slave days, when slaves were not considered human, but working farm animals like dogs and horses. When a slaver couldn't supervise the slaves because of some errand, he'd delegate one of the "farm animals" to be "the man".

    "The Man" comes from slavery.
