"Men" is a noun, not a pronoun. Pronouns are "he," "she," "it," "they," "we."

It is no longer socially acceptable to use a masculine noun to refer to both genders.

Why slang should be banned?

A reason to ban slang words would be because it's common for youth to lose understanding of what isn't slang and what is; it becomes so common in usage from generation to generation that what is grammatically incorrect is thought to be formally correct when speaking and/or writing. This, in turn, makes communication difficult between youth and for those whose jobs it is to be grammatically correct (such as teachers or business men and women) or between youth and generations (or people in general) who haven't fallen prey to the usual trend of words. Along with this, spelling suffers greatly.

Which is correct - 'everybody has his or her opinion' or 'everybody has their opinion'?

It would be more correct to say "Everybody has his/her opinion."The use of their in this sentence would be correct, though it is widespread in American speech. Originally, one would say "Everybody has his opinion", because "his" would refer to both men and women. However, as women's rights activists became more vocal, it was deemed improper to use the masculine form to describe men and women.Their is correct here. The use of their as a singular neuter pronoun has been valid for hundreds of years.
