I literally never seen anybody say this outside of left wing people online complaining about people supposedly saying it like it's an epidemic.
If the only takeaway that the Democrats have from the 2024 election is that they lost because of racism and sexism then they're cooked.
Your life experiences don't necessarily reflect those of everyone else, FYI. I've seen and heard this or some other "women are too emotional/illogical/irrational/cryptic/ect too many times.
There are relatively recent studies/surveys, like this one (PDF) that suggest that a pretty significant portion of the population still feel women are too emotional to be in politics. 13% as of 2019 in that one.
While I'd think—or at least hope—that this is still going down overall, the rise in conservativism is definitely slowing the decline.
