    I think the point being made was that there are lots of potential
    X-{name}s where, unlike "Men", {name} has no gender. "X-Mostly Men and
    a token Woman or two" doesn't have the same ring to it. :)

    I wouldn't say that. The original X-Factor team was in fact the
    original X-Men team
