a present-day man with many broad interests who has the opportunity to indulge himself in them so as to acquire a knowledge of each that is more than superficial.
So says my dictionary, which - being a 1973 edition - lacks
the current political correctness of banishing such words as
"man" and "himself". Personally, I have no problem with these
words and use them in their intended context, as being inclusive
of all humankind. Nor should anyone be insulted, upset or
otherwise red-in-the-face over the use of the phrase "broad
interests". "Broad", for the unenlightened, means having
extensive range or scope; it does not refer to women.
