Haha- that's one sexist comment that is nice to hear.
We joke around my house all that time about a woman brewing all the beer. One time, we were running low on beer in the kegerator and Bob said something like, "Woman, go into the brewery and make me some beer. And a sammich." I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.
He asked me yesterday what "Two row barley" meant. I explained how it was different from six row barley. He pretends to be very knowledgeable and nods and then says ridiculous things about brewing (to pretend he brews) and said, "Oh, yes. That's why I like that six row barley in IPAs." I said, "No. No you don't. You like six row in cream ale and classic American pilsner." His response: "Yes, that's right. That's what I meant. I like that grainy flavor of six row in cream ale!" He's learning.
One thing that I want to point out about this forum- there are probably more women around than you think. Our avatars and IDs are not usually gender specific. There are more men, certainly, but it should be kept in mind that this is a homebrewing forum, and not a guys' hobby forum. I have almost always been treated with respect as a brewer, and not as a girl, on this forum and that is part of why this forum is so great.
Women brew. They drink beer. Many times I've been insulted in homebrew stores and/or ignored. I've had bartenders put a slice of orange in my beer, without asking because I'm a girl or offer me a nice fruit beer. But other brewers have been respectful and treat me like just another brewer.
