Men's rights advocates & non-gender inclusive language in historic documents

@RivkahChaya;

I don’t know whether any men’s rights people have tried to use the quote to support their movement, but that would be my argument.

I had a conversation with an MRA-type B of a day in which he was making just the sort of point I allude to in the OP. Hence the thread.

Hmmm, slippery sloping here - I could imagine a court case arguing this point that relies on leveraging the ever growing population of “originalist” or “textualist” Supreme Court Justices siding in their favor.

Does anyone know of any instances in which men’s-rights advocates have used non-gender inclusive language in historic documents in an attempt to support their odious cause?
