The word "Male" is used in one of the Amendments. "Article XIV (Amendment 14 - Rights Guaranteed: Privileges and Immunities of Citizenship, Due Process, and Equal Protection)"
...
"2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,15 and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."

What Mr Swalwell said is pretty ignorant IMHO. I've been studying our founding documents for years now and I can say with certainty that I am not done. With comments like this it shows that very little study of that thing he is SWORN to DEFEND and UPHOLD has been done. Sad, very, very sad.
