Male or female’s argument against particular position (9)
I believe the answer is:
constance
'male or female's argument' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'against particular position' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'con' (as in pros and cons, for and against).
'particular position' becomes 'stance'.
'con'+'stance'='CONSTANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for constance that I've seen before include "Lady Chatterley, say" , "that's held by various national banks" , "Lady < of the Lake" , "Lake through which Rhine flows" , "Spry flower arranger" .)
