| Apr 23, 2018 at 19:13 | comment | added | Eike Pierstorff | The difference between "no man" and "no-one" is actually a major plot point in "The Undiscovered Country", where the federation is accused of being a "homo sapiens only" club before Kirk mends interspecies relations with the Klingons and very deliberately corrects himself in the closing dialog. So in that context at last this was not specifically about male and female, and more about an generalised "us and them". | |

| Apr 23, 2018 at 18:35 | comment | added | Odin1806 | @NathanK. - You are both correct. Thank you for noticing that error. I will make that necessary change. | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 23:50 | comment | added | Darren | @NathanK. I think you’re correct. I suspect the date of 1991 is the first time it was used in the movies (The Undiscovered Country). | |
