In most athletic respects, women are effectively 14 year old boys.
BJJ is a sport that allows for genius, and I know historically the occasional brilliant woman has made her mark against men, but like most sports of this nature, how big and strong you are matters most critically when you make a mistake. If you do make a mistake you either have to be fast enough to prevent an effective punish, or strong enough to eat the loss of position.
Little guys are fast, big guys are strong. Women have neither. And as such will be flattened at their first wrong move. In the lower belts, being nearly perfect is sometimes enough, but by brown belt, basically everyone will be nearly perfect. In a lot of cases by that point in their career, chronic injuries and the art of playing around them have begun to appear, which also counts against women because of their frankly shit durability.
I'm not very talented, but I still slow way down when I roll with them. It really is like being against a 13 year old kid. Only real consideration is that some girls have thin boney forearms that are more difficult to defend your neck against, but some skinny boys are like that too. And if your forearms are that thin, chances are you don't have great grip strength.
