The point of the survey was to understand why people enter competitions and how organizers can encourage a more diverse group of folks to enter. My club is mostly guys, so I found the results useful so I can understand how to be more encouraging to women to get involved.[deleted stuff]

Hey!Well, there is that whole "beard" thing...
Cheers!
Sounds like you are questioning if the above survey was worthwhile?Are there homebrewing barriers to entry for women? I’ve always seen homebrewing as being rather inclusive.
If you want to force diversity, brew a different kind of beer.The point of the survey was to understand why people enter competitions and how organizers can encourage a more diverse group of folks to enter.

Personally I didn't answer the survey as a couple of questions did not, IMO, fit the declared focus.Hey all, my name is Michele Wonder and I am an avid homebrewer of 4 years, the co-founder of the Women's Intl Beer Summit and Media Director for the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance.
I [Michele] am in the midst of creating a brewing initiative to help educate, encourage and enable women and non binary homebrewers to enter, compete and win in more homebrew comps. Last year when the NHC list of winners came out I quickly scanned through and not a single female sounding name was on that list. I really want to change that!
I [Michele] have created a brief survey to help identify why folks do or do not enter comps; what tools they need or roadblocks they have to overcome in order to participate. https://tinyurl.com/3ppa6n6y [...]
No need to apologize. I didn’t perceive any ill will or malicious intent. Additionally, I agree that knowledge helps make decisions, it does much more than that.Sounds like you are questioning if the above survey was worthwhile?
If not, my apologies.
I'm glad I know about the survey and the results. Knowledge helps when making decisions.
In brewing competitions?What I’m trying to understand is whether there is or is not a genuine concern. Are women are being discriminated against by the homebrewing community?
I’m not questioning the survey. I’m trying to understand the push for inclusivity in an anonymous space that doesn’t identify it’s contestants.In brewing competitions?
How would anyone know the identity of an entry?
If you don't know how, could discrimination occur?
