That's probably what some were saying about the first female airline pilots ... but they are commonplace now, do just as good a job as the male pilots and no one really thinks about it anymore.
Will it be any different with female refs? I doubt it.
In fact, because of a possible reduction in testosterone-fulled aggression (male player vs male referee), it may well help to cut down on player-abuse of the ref and lead to (relatively) calmer acceptance of ref decisions.
