OK, he's right here. Was out of town and frankly hadn't read this thread until this morning...all I can say is - What a freaking stupid argument to be having...anyone who does not recognize that girl's games are different than boy's and women's games are different than men's is a moron. Anyone who says that one is easier to officiate than the other is also a moron. They are two entirely different beasts...men's/boy's are usually more demanding physically, while girl's/women's usually require a whole lot more judgement/thinking before deciding whetehr or not to call the foul...
As far as the whole idea of working your way up through the girl's ranks to be "good enough" to do boy's games - I guess people can get all righteous and offended by that if they want to. Or, they could look at it the way I do - if you are good enough to do a solid job reffing a high level girl's/women's game, then you have shown that you are good enough to ref any game.
