There are a lot more men refereeing women's soccer games than women because there are a lot more male referees. It's nice to get women involved and officiating at women's games. At men's games, too. But the number of male officials far outnumbers the number of female ones, and that's the difference. Officials are assigned games based on the skill level of the players and the skill (and experience) of the official. (As to skill, a 12-year old official is probably not going to be officiating at a college game, though there are some 12-year old officials who are better referees than some adults.) Those who assign referees, the Directors of Officials at tournaments or in school leagues, want skilled officials to work the games, and gender is not a qualifier.

Does a soccer referee signal both goalies at the beginning of each game?

In youth and recreational games, the referee will traditionally ask each goalkeeper if they (and their team) are ready. At professional and adult competitive levels, players are expected to be ready when the referee is ready to start play, and so this "signal" does not occur.

Why are referees called referees?

Originally, soccer was played under the supervision of team captains, and the captains would have to agree on any points related to the game, such as when a goal is scored, a foul is committed, and when time has expired. Sometimes, however, the captains could not agree. A neutral person would be present at competitive games in order to resolve disputes that the captains could not resolve themselves.Thus, the captains would refer to this neutral party, making him the referee (much the same way that a person who is employed is an employee). In this early stage of soccer history, the referee had no power or authority except when referred to by the captains, in which case the referee's decision would be final on that point only.While other sports employed umpires to decide on all points of the games, the soccer referee was a passive arbiter. As soccer evolved and became more competitive, the need was seen to have an umpire on the field to decide on all points, as other sports did, and so the referee moved from the sideline to the field of play, first with a handkerchief, later with a whistle, and most recently with penalty cards and assistants with flags.This evolution of the referee followed with other sports as well, though some sports (such as Cricket and Baseball) retain the umpire nomenclature, and some (such as volleyball) use both a referee and an umpire.
