West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady has said the comments made by Sky Sports presenters about her and Premier League official Sian Massey made her "blood boil".
The executive hit back after Andy Gray and Richard Keys agreed female officials "don't know the offside rule".
The pair were recorded talking off-air on Saturday as Liverpool FC visited Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Lineswoman Ms Massey got one crucial, borderline decision spot on.
But Keys had said earlier: "I can guarantee you there'll be a big one today. (Liverpool manager) Kenny (Dalglish) will go potty."
Brady told Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It makes my blood boil, if I'm absolutely honest. What really upsets me is the fact that only females in our industry are judged by their gender. And that is categorically wrong."
The Hammers' vice chairman said there was little sexism on the business side of football these days.
But she added the game "still has this sort of old-fashioned, out-of-date view of what a woman's role is within the industry and it infuriates me.
"I am surprised they didn't say 'better go and get her to get the kettle on'," she added.
Richard Keys' sister Susan phoned the programme to defend him. She said: "He hasn't got anything bad to say about women, I have never heard him making comments before."
