I agree with this part, but disagree with the rest. The main difference between calling a boys' game and a girls' game is that a girls' game will have a lot more contact, and it's harder to determine advantage and disadvantage. I think rather than what Camron is saying that girls' are less able to "play through" contact, they actually play through a lot more. It's much much easier in a boys' game, because there's usually a lot less total contact, and it's a lot more clear which contact is a foul and which isnt. Just antoher point of view.
