Does Your Gender Come Through In Your Blog?
February 28th, 2007 | by Vinny |
Professing Mama pointed out the Gender Genie, so I tried it out.
Apparently, there are certain keywords that appear more in mens writing than womens, and vice versa. Gender Genie applies a simplified algorithm to any text you enter (500 words or more) to determine the gender of the author.
How did it do with “Digital Father”? Or better yet, how did I do in attempting to convey my masculinity through my blog? I submitted 2 of my more extensive passions, both on what you might call ‘womens issues’. After reviewing my writings on the HPV vaccine and sexualization, Gender Genie has decided. I’m a man. I can write about women’s issues, but clearly I am a man.
I think I’ll go eat a steak now.

OH my gosh I am reminded of that email you sent me when my company folded 10 years ago. You sent me a picture of a steak on a grill. It stayed with me forever as the single FUNNIEST ecard ever. And EVER SO MANLY.

I did this with a post I wrote about my daughter’s Easy Bake Oven. I got male too. It’s kind of goofy though.
