Gender identity fun

Basil points to the Gender Genie, created with the help of an ingenious little algorithm (somewhere in this 32 page paper) that takes a writing sample and predicts whether it was authored by a male or a female. It got me right (male!) on all three tries.

A little later I was visiting Yankee from Mississippi and there she’s pointing to a “What gender is your brain?” quiz. How could I resist? It tells me I’m a “healthy mix.” 53.33% female, 46.67% male.

Ok, so now I’m on a roll. Last stop, for old times’ sake, The Draginatrix. Enjoy!
