I'm not sure I'm following what you mean.

I don't think that most people in the abstract have a bias against women judges, so your second point isn't really surprising. Most of the time, I think voters imagine that women will be outside of any Good Ol' Boys network, and I think that's what they are hoping for in judges.

The research I've seen suggests a bias
toward female judges. The reason may have some to do with not being in the GOB network, but (again, according to what I've seen) has more to do with a perception that females are more likely than males to combine application of the law with compassion. Hmmmm.
