From New Zealand - a woman named Rachel Beer denied a spot in a homebrewing competition. Uh, that’s not right.
As the article points out, brewing beer used to be considered “women’s work” - since it involved food/beverage preparation and happened in the kitchen.

I do not care what your religion or your ignorance tells you; but to blatantly accuse me and people like me of a serious legal crime, and what I consider a huge crime against humanity is...
