I'm at 63% also, Monkey. I think their Gender Analyzer uses some outmoded stereotypes re: the way women write. Or maybe it's outmoded for the way women who write write.
Or--- it could be they know they have a 50% likelihood of being wrong, and it's all a crap shoot anyway. Not a very feminine thing to say, but then again, I do write like a man. (I've also been told over the years that I whistle like a man and drive like a man).
I suppose since I only post photos, and those are of cute kids and warm fuzzy puppies, I'd qualify as "Girly". I can't do the analysis. However, due to increased time at the gym and beginning Tai Chi, I'll whip anyone's ass who calls me that.
We think http://www.shuckandjive.org is written by a man (78%).
Ha! They think there is a 70% probability that I'm male.
ReplyDeleteAnd I note they are wrong almost half the time. I wonder what their criteria for "male" v. "female" are?
Holy crap, you are more manly than I. I only scored a 63% that I was a man.

ReplyDeleteThat's what we like to hear.

Interesting..thinks it's 61% sure I'm a male too...
