Masculine-Writing Women and Men Who Adore Them

Virginia Postrel points to the Gender Genie, which parses a long text string of your writing to guess your gender.

My piece: Buzzword of the Day: Sanity Check
The Judgment:
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 574
Male Score: 1068

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!


Heather's piece: John Galt, Vomit, and Sundry Other Bodily Excretions
The Judgment:
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 1746
Male Score: 2005

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!


I think a woman who writes and thinks like a man is sexxxxy!

Also, word to those who would impugn my masculinity by pointing out that my wife has a higher male score than me: note that my differential is greater than hers. I'm sure that's somewhere in the fine print of the Gender Genie, but I am too busy knitting doilies to read that closely.
