How can Lojban threaten the manhood of Esperantists?  Maybe it's a
Sapir-Whorf effect - Esperanto takes most of it's lexis from macho Romance
languages, so a threat to the performance of the language is a metaphorical
threat to male performance.  Just kidding.

BTW, is there an attitudinal for "just kidding"?
