Oh, entailed in this is that the stereotypical conlanger is male (i.e.,
not a bearded female).

Incidentally, when we did that survey, what was the percentage
of female conlangers on the list?  I remember it was much higher
than expected.  I suppose it was also surprising that everyone on
the list turned out to be at least part Lithuanian, but, well, who
isn't at least part Lithuanian nowadays...?
