In NA the problem is the male dominated administration who rule over amateur participation at all levels that are almost 50/50. These boards mirror the NSO's who hope to win the big one to get at all the FIFA money and run the pro leagues to the benefit of the males. It mirrors the old attitude that women should stay at home or work at home and a 9 to 5 too. Yep, I"ve seen it at the club, league, PSO, NSO, Fed and FIFA levels

USSF and CSA are good examples of NSO's that don't show transparency of how the female side contribes to the NSO and how those profits are put back into their respecitve programs. The present legal stand off between the USSF and the USWNT will come to a head with the USSF loosing due to the USSF lack of transparency on how the TV, marketing and other profits for the USWNT are hidden in Soccer United Marketing.

UEFA has 28 females leagues and their approach is different than NA. They like their mens side do it for the sport. But then NA is still in diapers.
