It's been accurate on all the posts I've tested it on so far :)

With a male score of 661, and a Female score of 639, it correctly guesses that I am a male. But does the fact that there was a relativly low margin between the male and female scores mean that I am about half male, half female, but mostly male?

[ReaperFett]

Female Score: 321
Male Score: 456

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


And how! :D




Good is a masculine word, because if feminine. How do they know this? :)

[ReaperFett]

Oddball writing got:

Female Score: 619
Male Score: 1145



ALLLLL man :D

Because women say because a lot. That's why. ;)

[ReaperFett]

"a" is masculine? :)

[Ryla Relvinian]

This doesn't really work for epic poetry.

I put in a long, formal piece I had written for an assignment and it said it was a masculine piece, but I put in a section of fanfic and it was feminine.

It doesn't really make sense that "The" is supposedly male... I understand the logic about having all the group words (with, your, we, and) being feminine, but The? Doesn't make sense for me.

Hehe, it was even able to determine Ryla's post above is female

[Ryla Relvinian]

:D Well I feel better then. From the article:


More generally, it is found that even in formal writing, femal writing exhibits greater usage of features identified by previous researchers as "involved" while male writing exhibits greater usage of features which have been identified as "informational."

Basically, Masculine-> Non Fiction, Feminine-> Fiction.

Booya!

Take 2: I just put in a whole lot of random words, copy and pasted the entry two or three times, then submitted it as a blog entry. Female score: 0. Male score: 1462. This thing is starting to creep me out.

A post I made as Angelica Shin, its result-

Female Score: 78
Male Score: 181

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

But I'm a woman.

*looks down pants* All woman.

I put in one of my posts at Fasc:


Female Score: 82
Male Score: 179

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

I'm a man.. :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

I think all of Fasc is male, really. It's so sex orientated ^_^;

[Crystal]

:uhoh

You're probaly right. :lol

[AmazonBabe]

I did a test.

On an average, the Gender Genie thought that my male characters were written by males.

But, on an average, the GG thought my female characters were written by a female.

Hmmmmmm... :lol

[Morgan Evanar]

I got the same results.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

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

Videl:

Female Score: 111
Male Score: 253

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

Eris:

Female Score: 107

Sorr:

Female Score: 313
Male Score: 143

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

It does bother me that the "feminine" words are less confident than the "masculine" words. It implies that only male writers can have authoritative writing, wheras women supposedly are not as confident/informed. :\

[Figrin D'an]

I think you're reading a little too much into it.

Besides, the basis for this seems rather dubious to me. For example, assigning a masculine value to "the" isn't really fair as other languages have gender specific forms of "the", whereas English does not.


Mildly amusing, but that's about it.

But "because" is feminine. Surely REASONS are authoritative?


And does it not WORK 85% of the time? :)
