I've seen this before, and found it referred to again... The Gender Genie "Inspired by an article in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author."
I copy/pasted the original text written by me, (minus quoted stuff), from my most recent 36 entries, dating from November 2004 to present...
Words: 8740
Female Score: 12843
Male Score: 20130
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
Okay, well, no reason to shout it please!
Apparently The Gender Genie declares my writing style as 61% male, and only 39% female.
After having read these 2 blog posts recently: Trish Wilson's Blog: Oh, Not Again! And A Month Early unrequited narcissism - goddman those ukranian mail order brides
It seems to me that if I could figure out a way to pretend I'm a man, write vitriolic controversial political themed entries, and simultaneously post a sexy & sultry photo of myself on my main page - I would be incredibly popular! Thank goodness it's not my fondest ambition - that kind of feat would surely be tiring!
