Such sex-based distinctions have been largely or completely eliminated in our society. Do such changes mean the definition of NBC also changes?

If the requirements for President clearly said the President must be a man, would you pretend that it didn't, or simply bemoan the fact that it isn't up to the current standards of political correctness?

Whether the Standards of Article II meet "modern" ideas of fairness is completely irrelevant to the fact that it means today what it meant in 1787, up until it is changed by Amendment.

It does.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years

If the feminists are accurate in their contention that the use of the generalized masculine pronoun refers only to males rather than being inclusive of both males and females, then the President must be male.
