That doesn't even begin to suggest a logical argument.

I'm not arguing - I'm simply stating fact. Did you serve alongside altar girls?

No, but I wouldn't have minded doing so. My service was from (roughly) the years 1977-1981.

No, you discounted the need for altar boys rather than girls, by stating the anecdotal evidence of you and yoru peers.

There is a difference between the statements "The vast majority of priests were altar boys" and "the vast majority of altar boys become priests."

Well, a lot of young boys do eschew doing "girl" things, especially when conscious of their peers. As altar girls turn altar service into a "girl" thing, boys eschew it.
