Thoughts? It would be an interesting case to try. I think that the Supreme Court might have original jurisdiction on this one.

Many old statements of common law and older statutes are not gender nuetral. Foe example, the classic definition of murder given by Lord Chief Justice Coke was:
"Murder is when a man of sound memory and of the age of discretion, unlawfully killeth within any county of the realm any reasonable creature in rerum natura under the King's peace, with malice aforthought , either expressed by the party or implied by law, so as the party who, or hurt etc. die of the wound or hurt etc. within a year and a day of the same."
But that never stopped the prosecution of a female for murder.
