The Gender Genie

The Gender Genie says I write like a girl. That's pretty deflating, isn't it? I mean, I write like a girl. And who is the computer that's computing this. I demand justice! And just so I sound like a man, i am going to say WTF bitch! Well, the Gender Genie is nevertheless interesting. "Inspired by an article and a test in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author." And yes, all that research still goes wrong in this tool. ("Uh heh heh...you..you said tool! - Beavis and Butthead)
