Not again! :-)

A friend has a link on her blog to the Gender Genie. You copy and paste some of your own text into it, and it tells you whether it thinks you are a man or woman. So I copied my previous entry (Decisions) and this is what the scores were:

Female Score: 442 Male Score: 562
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

AHH!!!! This is not the first time people have thought I was a guy. But most of the time it's because they've seen me from behind and my hair was up and I had a farmer coat on. It gives you key masculine and feminine words that it uses for the score. Apparently "is" and "the" are masculine. So women, don't use them anymore!!! After putting that entry in, I saw it says it works best on posts of more than 500 words, so I went back and used the "When will it end" post (it's 439 words). It finally got it right:

Female Score: 902 Male Score: 536
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: female!

I guess it's just confused about my gender.
