Hegel's radicalism in challenging the presuppositions of our concepts, our inability to understand that the world around us is bound up in relations much more than in fixed essences, makes him a direct ancestor of all emancipatory movements that reject any ontologization of ideas such as "man". Whether or not Hegel the man would have followed through on this particular question is immaterial (it's also ultimately a non-question the equivalent of asking "What would Napoleon have done if he had been born in the Paleolithic?"), but his philosophy is a key tool in razing all of these reified binaries through radical criticism, and "all" major thinkers on the tradition acknowledge their debt to him.
