Cluing answers like FEMALE is fraught. 39-Down is an interesting option. Back in 1955, the clue could be "The intuitive sex."
Marshal's RegEx query returns too many results, but you can narrow it down using the options in the yellow box. Sort by score to see the most interesting ones first, or select a specific length for the slot you're trying to fill. 15's that alternate vowels and consonants include MEXICAN AMERICAN, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, and RICE WINE VINEGAR. The only 21 that fits the pattern in NYT history is this quote from Aristotle.
Click Analyze below to see the lovely green/white checkerboard in the Thumbnails section showing the consonant/vowel distribution.
There was another such puzzle in 2018.
