At any given time, there are at least five or more men and five or more women who are all equally skilled and competent to become a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

Based on what? Do you realize that your own criteria for such a determination are chosen by a non-expert on legal matters, and that your statement cannot be confirmed by any kind of valid consensus? Most people who actually work in the law would be of the opinion that there is no point at which one can say that one has achieved maximum growth in legal knowledge, understanding and skill. Ask some.

And most people, after failing to get the support even of women for your idea, would not conclude that all people everywhere, including all women everywhere, are misogynistic, but rather that it's time to go back to the drawing board.

A few statistics on women jurists are available here-- a comparison of the ratios may begin to enlighten you as to where the problem really lies:
