No, but it takes a woman to do it. The abridged version of how they clone goes like this: They take an egg from a woman, remove the haploid nucleus, and replace it with the nucleus of a diploid cell. Add a couple of chemicals and give it a zap, and the egg comes back to life and begins dividing as it would had it been fertilized naturally.

You're probably thinking of parthenogenesis, in which the genetic material in an egg is doubled to produce offspring without a father. Because the female's genetic material contains only X chromosomes, the offspring are XX, that is female. This is different from cloning, though, because the offspring are not genetically identical to the mother.
Cloning can be applied to either sex.
