Adding 'man' and 'woman' are different and understanding why isn't anything to do with 'countless gender arguments'.

Adding ‘man’ or ‘woman’ indicates that you are addressing a ‘man’ or ‘woman’, surely? I see nothing offensive about that.

I don’t think so, Mick. To be honest , if a woman said to me ‘Giveit a rest, man’ I would not be offended.
Seriously, Mick, would you?
No woman is ashamed of being a woman, so why would she be offended by being referred to what she is? Unless she is trans, I suppose.
