| None of my wives have though it a sane activity -- once it was clear it
wouldn't get me p&t, and all have refused to learn any of it -- or even what it was all about (including the present who is writing a tale about what it is like to live with an obsessive largely on the basis of Lojban and me). My daughter -- from age 1 on -- also stoutly refused to learn Lojban (an most anything I else I tried to teach her, for all she did end of taking -- and liking -- Asian Philosophy). So, despite the contributions of several females directly or indirectly to Loglan and Lojban, it does seem to be a guy thing. Not just a geek thing -- though predominantly so -- and my neighbors resent the notion that geeks can't be mates, though one does find Lojban interesting enough to stop whatever it is he is doing in redesigning the guts of his largest computer for a chat about it and the other claims our yammering makes him lose his place in machine coding. |
