Commentary for Kiddushin 70:5
מדשני קרא בדיבוריה דא"כ ניכתוב רחמנא פאת זקנכם מאי זקנך זקנך ולא זקן אשתך
And how do we know that they are not subject to [the injunction against] marring? - Either by common sense, for they have no beard. Or, alternatively, [from] Scripture.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
There are two ways to exempt women from the prohibition of marring the corner of their beards. First, women do not normally have beards. Second, the verse uses the singular in reference to the beard. This changing of the person teaches that men are prohibited but not women.
