This capitalized word in the middle of a sentence makes all of them wrong. I'll ignore that below.

whether be it is not correct.
It's whether it be or just be it.
Nowadays everyone is having a stressful life, [be it / whether it be][men or women / a man or a woman].
However, these are very formal and old-fashioned ways of speaking or writing. Personally, I would avoid them.

Debatable. I am having a hard time trying to decide whether having a stressful life is an "activity". I think it is. Sort of.
