I believe the supposed quote was "won't" not "can't". Therefore not a limit. Granted you could say God chose a human male image as a form, but, then the idea that Adam was created in God's physical image still isn't right as God simply chose that image then and can easily choose another image if God so wills. Not to mention there have been many large and greatly disaterous floods since then. I personally don't think the Noah story was world-wide as in all of Earth. Just world-wide to those who initiated the verbal story and overtime has had some alterations that one would expect after a few hundred years of being a solely verbal tale.

How about thinking he's a man because in Latin based languages it is grammatically correct to use "he" when the gender of someone or something is unknown. (Hence also why it's grammatically correct to call a group of guys and girls just guys.)
Therefore it's not so much an assumption of manhood as it is a gramatical fact that some take as an assumption.
Well that or the fact that it's just a lot better to be a man then it is a woman in this world.
