I don't know how blindered one would have to be not to see that feminist ideals are in general beneficial for all human beings, not just women.

The gender identification of a judicial nominee is relatively insignificant. A male judge who supports feminist ideals would be better for the nation as a whole than would a female judge who supports the oppression of citizens on the basis of gender.

But gender is the symptom, not the problem. Sexism is a tell in the same way that racism is a tell.

Trump's game is all about fostering inequality.

The problem is not simply that Barrett and Lagoa would be bad for women. They would be detrimental for all citizens, except those who are immune to oppression because of their wealth.
