I agree with Jeanette. Women are just as capable as men and can handle our scopes. So, we're not as strong physically as men but we adapt things to our situation. To say 'I wouldn't buy a dob for a girl' is more than a tad insulting.
My own scope is 18" and extremely heavy which is no problem as it has wheels. Even a man can't lift my scope, so wheels are the way to go. My previous dob was 12", it was heavy but I fitted wheels to the base.
As others have already suggested, the OP should let his girlfriend choose the scope and then she can see what she wants.
