And I can tell you that women are moved up much faster and are given more opportunity because of their gender. Some are even rushed way ahead of schedule to "balance" things out.
All I want is a system (in anything not just officiating) that is more objective and less subjective. That's my pipe dream.

I've seen many officials moved up faster than other more deserving officials: somebody's son or daughter; in the right fraternity; went to the same school as someone; being a Freemason; being a realtor when the assignor is a mortgage broker; working in the shipyard; having access to a contract for a rec league; being white; being black.
Women are shut out from the men's side. I can live with the Women's game wanting more female officials. At least it's pretty much in the open on the Women's side and not done in backrooms and in the dark like the above examples.
