How often are women flirted with or asked out?

Absolutely not. That idea really stinks, and it is the major reason why NDs are a marginalized group. Because if everybody was created the same way, then there must be something wrong with NDs because they are not like NTs.

Being different does not mean somethings wrong or we are below though.

Equal in the Declaration of Human Rights doesn't mean exactly the same personality and brain type, it means: are due equal respect.

Why 'men' is synonym to all humans in English? It is the same in French too, "hommes" is also synonym to humans.

Was the word "man/men" gender-neutral in history or was it because men(as males) were seen "superior"?

I'd say English men is quite advanced in the process of losing its generic meaning these days.

In the distant past, man did, in fact, mean just 'human being'. You had to say were (whence werewolf and weregild; it's also a cognate to Latin vir) to mean 'man', and its feminine counterpart was wife, which meant 'woman'. The word woman itself is short for wife-man, though there's a folk etymology connecting it with womb-man.
