If you blog, then click here and prepare to waste the next hour or two of your life. The Gender Genie will analyze your writing and tell you if you write a like a man or a woman.
I put about 10 of my recent posts through the genie and it came back in nine of them predicting that the writer was a man.
At first I thought: Phew! That’s a relief! And then I thought: Wait — they didn’t say if that was good that I wrote like a man.
And now I can’t get that Aerosmith song out of my head.

What does it say about me that I blog like a dude but comment like a girl?
Maybe that means you’re “bi-literatural”.
Thanks so much Ron for helping me find the woman in me!
You’re welcome, Jacques(eline?)
Ron,
Damn you (shaking my fist!) I of course blog like a dude. I think they said something like “truck driver” — sigh.

Damn you, Shevlin.
Of the last 5 longer posts: 2 male, 3 female. Hm. My bike safety and weight loss posts were more guy-ish, and my random-bits-of-life posts were more girlie. Not quite sure how to take that. And most of them were not overwhelmingly one or the other. A gender-neutral voice? Who knew?!
Check this out: I went to the Women’s Financial Network site, copied an entry on “Intro to Investing” and pasted it into Gender Genie. It’s prediction: Written by a man! What do you think of THAT, Muriel Siebert?
Ron, you are 10% more of a man than me. I ran 10 through and had 8 male, 2 female. And, yes, you owe me the last hour back!
Sorry to burst your [manly] bubble, Tim — but you clicked on the US version. You’ll have to wait until they come out with a Canadian version.
Dan: Don’t blame me — it’s your cold medicine.

If you’re a man, it’s never bad that you blog like a man.
It’s never bad having an Aerosmith tune stuck in your head.
Now I’ll go see what gender I’m sharing with the rest of the blogosphere.
