    they are kinda a gender neutral.

    Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.

    Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.
