Does this mean I have to get rid of my stuffed animal collection?

The Gender Analyzer claims to decode the secret clues to gender in a blogger's prose. This was the response to my query about BitterGrace Notes:

"We guess http://bittergracenotes.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (55%), however it's quite gender neutral."

Alrighty, that's an understandable mistake, given that BG Notes actually includes a lot of quotes, many of them from men. So I decided to analyze Turn Outward, in which the posts are written pretty much 100% by me:

"We guess http://turnoutward.blogspot.com is written by a woman (57%), however it's quite gender neutral."

Well, at least they give me a toehold on femaleness there. I don't want to be drummed out of the sisterhood.

    Ha! I'm off to try, though I fear the mere mention of "perfume" is going to affect the analysis...

    Done! I come up as 51% female, which in some ways I consider quite wonderful.

    :)

    Hope you enjoyed the Nuit de Noel...

    I always enjoy Nuit de Noel. I don't know why I wear it so rarely.

    Supposedly, the program is analyzing our prose style, not its content, so the perfume chat shouldn't give us extra girl credit--if it does, I should really check my equipment!

    I sorta like hovering in the center, too.
