Gender and (con)language phonology...

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

To be fair, I considered them a troll pretty early on; that statement was just further decoration on the icing that was already on the cake.

At one point, I did introduce into a couple Siberian conlangs of mine the existence of phonetic variation based on speakers' sex, but never really did much with it. I threw it in there because it seemed like a cool areal feature, and one which could plausibly (on sociolinguistic/historical grounds) appear in my bogolangs -- but, basically, I'm just not that interested in phonology, and never did come back and do anything with the idea.

However, it is true that I'm an anti-gender ideologue -- in a Marxist feminist / radical feminist strain -- and thus my dabbling in these matters may also be unacceptable...
