Women on the island
It's interesting how the women on the island seem to be captivated by foreign people. They like the strangers visiting the island and they make reasons to stay on Laputa. They may feel they are not bound by society and or take no interest in the math or music that engrosses the men. The women and men seem to have opposite actions compared to real life relationships. The women have lovers and the man takes no notice as long as he's occupied.

I feel that Swift is hinting that the Women are less educated and should stay out of important subjects such as mathematics and sciences. When Gulliver finds all of the ridiculous practices of the mainland, a person wanted women to be taxed for their beauty which show the male dominance in the society.
