http://www.bookblog.net/gender/genie.html The Gender Genie is an algorithm which claims to predict the gender of the author. There's some fun to be derived, determining as to whether you have male or female writing styles. It's interesting copying and pasting feminists, politicians, journalists, manginas quotes/writings. The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words. Have fun. "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Tried it on myself with 1300 words: -- Female Score: 2094 Male Score: 2089 The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: female! -- Drat! I've been supporting the wrong side! | ||||

LOL I haven't tried it on myself as yet, when I do I'll post the results.

I tried with a text by Wendy McELroy and the engine returned "male". With Ann Coulter it returned "female". I think it is superficial and distinguishes between arguments vs. feelings, rather then gender. | |||

I am certified male my reason and logic faculties appear to be functioning. I had a laugh when I saw how the genie decides. feminism is a disease the Doc is working on a cure. Symptoms include compulsive liar, constant aggression, allergic to logic, often affects women who are fat with short hair and big earings, but can be normal looking. Reason tablets three taken daily. If the sufferer displays shaming tactics double the dose. Remarkably the illness disappears in disaster zones. | ||||

I tried it with four of my own articles: 1 female: 3 male. Judging by the keywords it's scoring, the more contemplative and diary-like the writing is, the more likely it will be scored female.

I have scored "male" every time. I must craft my writing style to see if I can fool it!  | ||||
