The other option is that they could be reviewed by a peer group of women.... and I bet they find they do just as poorly if not worse, because from my very relevant experience in the role I hold just now, women reviewing other women are far more likely to put the boot in so they don't face as much competition.
In some sectors, women will always be under-represented (some elements of IT, coal mines, etc) and the few women that are in the roles there are far more protective of their territory and don't like other female competition.
