This SEEMS to say that only men use naughty words. Or maybe that
only men are interested in discussing scatology. I think there are
other reasons why a large percentage of conlangers are males. I
doubt that the number of postings on this topic in the grouup is a
valid sampling. If the topic is not one in which one is interested,
one can simply ignore the posting.
