      "Some" would ALSO say that NO male SCOTUS nominee in recent memory has been suggested to patronizing concern-trolling about his "temper" or "personal feelings" or various other ways of implying women possess no capacity for rational judgment.

      Actually, no, not a lot of people "would say". A lot of people, including journalists, SHOULD say this to make people realize it's NO BIG DEAL!

      I don't remember it being a thing at all. And there were lots of things I could, and did say about Alito, but his comment on race and how it affected him did not even cross my mind.
