It’s a quote. One doesn’t typically alter a quote unless it’s unintelligible if not altered in some way.

You can quote whatever you like however you like, but it ain't all men out there. Relying on such worldviews to understand the world leaves you with a truncated world.

As the other poster pointed out the word men has multiple meaning which depend on context. The meaning is clear to me and no need to modify it. Next time you quote it you can make your own changes.

The idea that ‘men’ is a universal stand-in for people is no different than saying White is the universal stand-in for people.

Nope. White has never had that meaning at all.
Please look into the etymology of a word before making whimsical arguments.
You’ll have an awful time with Chinese where words have many different meanings depending on context.
