You may be right. So the "problem" is more that she looks masculine than she wouldn't be considered attractive? That makes some sense, although I still think it's extremely pathetic. Because there are certainly some male justices who are extremely hard on the eyes (for example, Scalia), and I don't remember people bringing looks into the conversation when they were nominated---but they don't exactly look effeminate.
