Been reading this thread bit for a while and wanted to give my two cents:

Ozpin has been passed down the knowledge of the original wizard from his previous iterations, which means he knows hows the powers he created works. He's the one who geave Ironwood the go ahead for the machine and sought out Pyrrha, a young maiden. Why did seek out a young woman if a man could've wielded it also? For tradition's sake?

If anything, I think that if Salem forced the maiden powers on a man it would horribly backfire because that's not how it's designed.
