However I don't see the point as a feminist language. First I do not think women have perceptions different from men's (although I can't know of course. And just in case you want to know: I am a man). Second, there can't be much real in Sapir-Whorf: I'd probably think clearlier when speaking Láadan (or the language of Matses people, which seems to be similar from what I've read), but that does not mean German or French or English would hinder me to.
And I would like to be told clearly whether it is a "fantasy" language like Tolkien's Eldarin, or an utopic language like Zamenhof's Lingvo Internacia.
