Today on misbehaving.net Caterina Fake published a post on the outcome of running a number of the "misbehaving.net" weblog entries through The Gender Genie, a tool that "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."
And so I was curious and fed one of my longest self-composed posts into "The Gender Genie" and received the following results:
Female Score: 103
Male Score: 1038
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
