Consider that from your point of view the open source project is free from politics and the anti-harassment policy is "dragging politics into it." But from the point of view of someone who has experienced harassment, politics were indeed an issue. The inconvenience to you is minor. You now have to spend an extra moment to consider another point of view. The inconvenience to your aggrieved peer was major. They were actually harassed. The benefit to them outweighs your annoyance.

This CoC is yet another weapon to use against people who don't agree in inherent white male privilege (a concept that is most definitely political). The politically neutral move would be to not have a CoC or have one that excludes all demographic white/blacklisting.

Stop right here to consider every other possible point of view. >Because men have not been historically a target of oppression In some cultures it's men who were hunted for witchcraft and men were burnt alive or drawn. You just offended them. Also in our culture men go to war, men die and fight wars. That's pretty quite oppressing that politicians have no problem sacrificing men. Consider that point of view.
