I don't know about the rest of you, but in the circles I run in the ratio of male to female officials is much closer to 100:1 than it is to 10:1. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I worked a regular season game above the middle school level with a woman. And that's a shame, because believe it or not I really, really (really) like women. I have run into a few women doing the women's end of a men/women ncaa date...but we never shared the same game.

I'm not saying that because I'm a knuckle draggin' neo-whateverthefrigyoucallit...it's just the plain truth of the matter.

Anyways, I hope I didn't damage any fragile egos, and if I did...well, tough.

I just checked the numbers for you, Juulie.
There are 110 registered HS officials in my local area. Three of those are females.
