Not a fan of Clattenburg but he wasn't saying females couldn't be referees, he was pointing out that to be a top referee in your prime, then for women at least, it usually coincides with them wanting to start a family. He actually said that by the time they could be a top ref they may have lost out to someone who didn't take time out to start a family and then they miss out, which is a shame. At no point did he actually say they couldn't be.
The real twat was Marler the rugby player, posting on Twitter that Clattenburg was out of order and basically kissing every woke, snowflake, female backside, trying to be loved and sucking up to them all.
The trouble with any female related question is that logic always leaves the room these days and you're immediately slated if it goes against what they really want to hear, even if it is the truth. All that happens in that instance is you introduce a lower level of ability and lower the standards all round just to accommodate a PC agenda. Dont believe me? Just take a look at the state of this country and where its heading.
