In this league the rules are 8 players on the field 5 males and(at least) 3 females. 3 females have always to be on the field, they never get subbed. When we are 1 female short(7 total players)  another male had to leave the field, thus handicapping our team  where we played with 6 players ,2 females 4 males . The other team also dropped another guy but kept the females 3 females 4 males. 7 vs 6 and we lost. OUTf~~~ingstanding!! we are a fairly new group, but the other team had been together for a while, and geared to benefit females, I noticed this since even when the females, words of encouragement and claps were followed at every touch of ball. The ref mentioned in the beginning that he will allow body to body clashes bcz  even the girls can  be tough.I immediately said tough in their own way, maybe! Sneaky and throw a cheap elbow Yes, They all looked with googly eyes  blank  stared. The ref smirked  and that was the end of it! Another  activity geared  towards  gynocentrism
