Dave --
Do you have any sense of what this '"strange" sense of foul recog.'
is? (And I would suppose that could lead to "not letting them play").
An occasionally recurring theme here is differences between the men's and
women's game. And we've talked about anatomy, center of gravity, social
and individual psychology, etc. I always read these with the view that I
would probably be learning something that was otherwise lost on most of us
males .... But if the women refs don't get it, then who's missing what?
Perplexed ...
