Well when both gender officiating is on the same plane, then maybe people will stop making this point. But I have heard people suggest that the reason girls have stopped playing basketball (not sure this was scientific) was because the game had gotten so rough. Now, I watch a lot of basketball, girls basketball is no more rough than any boys game that is hotly contested, but I have seen people that want fouls called just because there was contact, even if the contact was not illegal. And in this example a foul being called is part of the problem here. Not every girls official at the high school level is a college official like yourself either.
