the typical logfest (and participating/talking in lojban) are
female?  yes, i'm male, but it's an intellectual curiousity--to see
how male-dominated (my hypothesis) the lojban world is.




Well, I haven't been in a while, but if the old ratios hold up approximately,
I'd say just under 10% female.  Now, that includes Nora, who influence, while
very quiet, is not to be discounted at all.  She has been in this game about
