male citizens
Country's adult men
Male citizens are the men and boys who hold citizenship in a particular nation or political unit.
The phrase often appears in historical and legal contexts where rights or duties applied only to men: In ancient Athens, only male citizens could vote.
Discussions of military conscription, voting rights, and civic participation frequently invoke male citizens when describing who was included or excluded.
