| 1253816 | 2012-01-13 18:19:00 | What are they worried about - she might win? Should be able to enter a contest that doesn't specifically involve something only men are physically capable of. Now if it was a ....no, we won't go there....... | pctek (84) | ||
| 1253817 | 2012-01-13 21:37:00 | Why dont women just make their own comp? Dont really see the big deal to be honest. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 1253818 | 2012-01-14 06:41:00 | Yeah it's a big deal outta nothing. Echoing the prior sentiments: 1) Woman brewing beer, it does *not* get any better than that! 2) Suck it up, go start your own female-only one and stick it to the guys by challenging them to a brew-off between the winners. 3) It's their contest, they can do as they like, just like you have gender-specific gyms, and same for gender-specific changing rooms at the pools. It's a fact of life, deal with it. |

| 1253822 | 2012-01-14 21:39:00 | In ancient Egypt the brewers were women... priestesses actually. Not that it is relevant.... |

| 1253823 | 2012-01-14 23:54:00 | This link explains the situation: www.stuff.co.nz From the article: Rachel Beer caused a stir when she claimed she was turned down from entering a section of today's Lake Hayes A&P Show's Blokes Homeskills competition because she was a woman. However, the tongue-in-cheek competition has a large number of categories, including baking, flower arranging and home-brewing, all aimed at inducing typical southern men to step out of their usual comfort zones. An organiser of the competition, Mike Boyd, yesterday said Ms Beer's entry attempt was turned down because it would have been like a man trying to enter the Speight's Perfect Woman competition. "This is a fun competition, and we're not taking things too seriously," he said. "But we're not changing anything either, and this situation reflects on the quality of the reporting that managed to make the front pages in certain papers more than anything." |

And no one gets upset if there are women only contests. Seems to me like she was deliberately stirring and Stuff joined in. Political correctness gets taken way too far. Men and Women should be treated as equals sure, but ignoring the fact they are different or preventing gender specific events is just craziness and nothing to do with equality. And no they should not be allowed into the All Blacks, full contact sport between Men and Women has many issues that should be obvious to anyone. |
