Dean, knowing no more law than you do and having followed neither link you just offered, I think an "original intent" based jurisprudence would suggest that the writers of the 14th had race foremost in their minds, while the notion that women ought to be legally equal to men would have seemed at least foreign -- i.e., too far off to be constitutionalized -- and possibly absurd.
