The reasoning is twofold:
(1) The introduction of altar girls began as an act of disobedience.
(2) Traditionally, the acolytate is the early training ground for priests. The introduction of girls, who cannot be priests, interferes with recruitment for the priestly ministry.

100% right on wideawake. The feminists have been attacking the Catholic church for some time now. In addition to the alter girl invasion, the language has been under attack for as well. References to 'Him' have been replaced with 'God' in the hymns, and the word 'mankind' is now 'people' as just a few examples. That rascally union of world-wide womyn (UWWW) never miss an opportunity to spread their religion.

This may have been true in the days of minor seminaries and men going directly into college seminaries.

Today, however, when most seminarians enter after college, or even later, altar service could hardly qualify as a "training ground" for priests. Besides, there's very little for servers to do at Novus Ordo Masses.
