Gender Bender
August 26, 2003
This program claims to be able to distinguish the gender of an author from a sample of his or her writing. I fed it this entry and it told me I was a woman. "Maybe," I thought, "that show's I'm 'in touch with my feminine side'". But no, when you look at the record of results it had at the time I did the test, you'll see that it's pretty much a random 50 - 50 distribution:
