I'll have to remember that next time I need to fake my way through presentations. :D
The premise is pretty cool, but we aren't really going in depth about anything. There was this one interesting bit about how even thought our language only has the gender-neutral third person pronoun 'hän', and it lacks masculine or feminine articles, it doesn't mean that our language doesn't have gendered qualities. A lot of professions contain the word 'mies'(=man) and many sayings are gender-specific in the same way they are in English e.g. "to cry like a girl".
The writing certainly isn't bad. I like how it twists and turns and keeps me interested, but it also slows me down considerably. You know, I'd love to read like that. I'm not even sure if I know how to do logical analysis! (I'm recruiting you as my own personal grammar nazi for my BBB if I get it written. JSYK.)
