What makes complaining about a lack of males getting certain assignments any different than a lack of blacks getting certain assignments?

To me it's playing the "gender card".
All true, and the NCAAW assignors doing the reverse isn't proper either.
I've seen some quality male officials denied spots in favor of females who "can be trained or developed."
It is very obvious that a single criterion was the determining factor.
