As I researched what people thought about this quote it seemed many had different thoughts because it was just talking, or better said using the word man. One person said that, "Men was inclusive language in Shakespeare's day. It was the most inclusive language he had. The word meant 'human beings' or 'adult males' depending on the context and that obviously women were included." Another diagreed by saying, "When you read that specific poem, you understand he's dealing with a male's life. The Bard could tell the difference very well. "

Honestly, when I read the poem even I thought it was just referring to men, but many people have different ways of viewing things.
