My opinion is that women ought to be looked at first for the next five Supreme Court positions that come open. If you honestly can't find any good women prospects (a question that current Republican leaders should get no voice in, in my opinion, as they are incapable of viewing a woman candidate dispassionately), *then* we can consider going with a suitable male. If we wind up with one or more males in the next five candidates, we should, of course, continue to consider women first for every single Supreme Court position after that until we have five woman judges.
Because the current boys-locker-room atmosphere in the Supreme Court is profoundly disturbing to someone who is not part of the currently privileged gender, and I don't think it will be fixed by anything less than this proto-equality I have suggested.
