I'm sure this varies from area to area, but that seems like a pretty gross overgeneralization to me. If two girls teams are evenly matched, then I don't see why you'd have a quicker whistle than in a game with evenly matched boys teams. See the contact, judge if there's an advantage, then blow the whistle. It's the same in boys or girls, isn't it?

The girls overall seem to get more physical than the boys do.

This is just wrong around here. If anything, the girls are less willing to mix it up.

Girls get emotional faster and thus things get more physical faster.
Girls are less concerned with proving how tough they are and almost never get in another player's face, thus tensions don't escalate as fast.

That's my experience anyway.
