Equality is an interesting thing.
Everyone claims they want equality, but when it comes to critiques they are quick to say the only reason they are being criticized is because they are different in some way.
Sometimes that is valid, other times it isn’t so clear, like in the case of Chris Paul.
Chris Paul critical of ref Lauren Holtkamp's "terrible" tech on him (and Jordan). Said if she calls that way, "this might not be for her."

Only Chris Paul knows if he would have said the same about a male ref, but since we don’t know, we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
As a female ref she should want to be treated just like a male ref and plenty of players think the male refs are awful, so this is no different.
