“for example areas of halacha that are particular and applicable only to a man”
Let’s take Y.U. semicha for example. The standard Yoreh Yoreh covers Eiruvin, Bishul, Niddah, aveilus, tevilas/hecsher keilim, the different areas of halacha pertaining to and delineating the process of making kosher food, geirus, mila, and inyanei kiddushin. The only part that is not applicable to women is mila (and perhaps some of the kiddushin stuff).
