Last Person Standing does't have a nice ring to it anyway.

i think its just the voice...instead of person if its a girl left in the game it should say Last Women Standing. Halo even has a male female selection.

That's taking it too far. Last man standing is mostly an expression. I might as well look at the person in the moon while standing on a person-hole cover and then go to the bar and fight like a person.

I disagree. Last Man Standing is perfect the way it is. It does denote species, as in this case those who are not man are zombies.
Grammatically,it's more acceptable to list one gender than both. For example, if you're saying, "..if _____ finds that...," it is grammatically better to say EITHER "if he finds that" OR "if she finds that..." but NOT "if he/she finds that..." or "if they find that..."

It's not exactly sexist... it means "Man" as in "Human", not "Man" as in guy.

But it is incorrect. What if the last "man" is an Elite? Hm?

So it includes women.

It isn't sexist. It just isn't.

It would more likely be "Only woman standing" given the male to female ratio. If you really wanted to make it more PC, then they could have said "Last Player Standing". Once again, "Man" sums up all of man-kind, "man" referring to us the players and not our character models.

It's a simple figure of speech.

So stop letting "your girl" push you around. ;)

  • 09.24.2010 5:10 AM PDT

i completely agree you should "huMAN" up and don't let your girl push you around its a simple figure of speech.

political correctness is destroying the world, you cant say anything without having to fear of getting sued or harmed in any way, all political correctness does is make the politically incorect hurt more

It is fine just how it is. It isn't sexist, your girl just wants the attention so she points out ridiculous things that she thinks are wrong.

Picked a real winner there...(not)
