の人 specifies that we're talking about a man. 男 should really be translated as male as a few people have already pointed out.

Usually, in English, you don't use male and female as nouns when referring to humans. You can do it, but to a lot of people will feel like you're classifying some animal specimen or something.
Using the word as an adjective, "I'm male", was accepted for me.

Was trying to think of an instance where "it is a man" would be used and then thought of.....
"Is it a bird?" "Is it a plane?" "It's (super)man!" 笑い
