The republican women congresspeople and SCOTUS justices perform exactly the same capitulation as the republican men in those positions... Murkowski and Coney-Barrett have both been outspoken in these last weeks about their support of the direction the country is headed.
Yes, politicians maneuvere their supporters into key positions. Plus Trump doesn't appear to allow dissent
Doesn't this just support the opposite of your idea though? Regardless of gender, politics is about power, and it rewards those who do what is necessary to gain and retain power. We wouldn't just be holding a lottery to randomly appoint women to positions of power - we'd be selecting for (in one way or another) the most power-hungry women in society.
My original point was that IME women in power put less misogynistic policies in place.
