The relevant observation is that the old meaning of the English word "men" as the correct term for "men and women considered together"  as well as for "men" alone is rapidly losing currency in modern English, and at the very same time the English loan-word "human" is becoming the colloquial preference for clarity. 

If you want to seriously talk language and liturgical texts, you need a lot more finesse than simplistically distinguishing  Germanic and Latin etymologies of words.
