I think that there is precedent for carrying different rules when you consider that many states use NCAA women's shot clock rules for girls only. However, I would agree that a girls-only rule is less likely to occur for something like the mercy rule. However, if the 40 point blowouts are rarely happening in boys ball, it is rather a non-issue, wouldn't you agree. It is a de facto girls only rule, because girls ball seems to be having bigger disparities right now.
Don't want the rule, but 40 points seems a decent place to have it if you feel you need it. And it will not be used in the majority of games.
