Hey, now that's interesting! How do you manage to view a member list? I've been
trying, but never found it.
It's obviously true that the number of men on Conlang exceeds the number of
women by far. What makes me especially curious, though, is why women seem to be
not involved at all into a posteriori conlanging; I don't know even one example
an a posteriori conlang created by a woman.
