Also: where are the people who were offended by "man-in-the-middle"? Can you point to a single non-man who was offended that the evil-doer in this example was identified as a man? Or can you point to a single man who was offended for the same reason?

There are people who object to all gender-neutral uses of "man", probably more from the belief that it perpetuates bias than from personally taking offense.
