The one theory that resonates with me is the left has used the word "men" in so much negative context that it is now stigmatic. So they needed some other synonym to denote benign men without the negative associations.
Let me first say what he did was wrong and I support him exiting the race and resigning from any public office he currently holds. I hate politicians like him.
But I don't really care that partisans on the motte are pearl clutching. If Trump said similar things in a leaked private chat, like calling Kamala's kids little communists or whatever, or he'd shoot Hilary twice, you think that would move the needle at all? Nope. We are far beyond that point.

Yes you can be right. It's also possible that "white men" specifically has especially negative connotations in progressive circles, enough to make the democratic decision-makers use a different label for the "good ones".
These are just theories after all, and we are just engaging in bulverism without having a real progressive here to defend their ideology.
