Eager to learn whether Gender Genie might have helped uncover the blogosphere's latest marketing scheme, I ran a few randomly selected 'graphs from the old Libertarian Girl blog through Gender Genie. Two out of three came up as "male."
Actually, I don't think that TigerHawk used it correctly, because I wrote my "Libertarian Girl" posts aware of the Gender Genie's existence, and I purposely made sure that the posts used the gender-correct keywords.
The Gender Genie has three settings: fiction, nonfiction, and blog entry. The proper setting to use is, strangely enough, non-fiction. The blog setting was cleary based on a statistical analysis of non-political blogs. Imagine a teenage girl writing about her boyfriend; the type of words found in that post would show up heavily female. It's impossible for a serious blogger to ever show up female using that setting.
By using the words "if", "with" and "not" as often as I could, I made sure the majority of posts scored female on the nonfiction setting.
Most female political blogs are male authored according to the Gender Genie. I tested Michelle Malkin once, very male. Writing about politics obviously requires the use of male keywords.
Cassandra put her own posts through the Gender Genie and determined that she was male too. Julie B also reports that she is male.
Of course it's possible that there are actual zero female political bloggers, they are all men pretending to be women, and I was the one caught because only I was dumb enough to use a photo of a Russian bride.
UPDATE
Karen also reports being a male according to the Gender Genie.

I assure you, I'm 100% female... at least last time I checked (only 15 seconds ago - this Genie thing has me feeling a tad bit insecure... :)

I ran some of my non-political blog entries through... I come up mostly "male", as well (even under non-fiction. Even when the text was all about my boyfriend and commitment and feelings).
So, um... (No, I'm not male.)

I thought the whole thing funny. Let me know if you open another one under your 'real' name (as if the one above is mine) and I will be just as happy to link to it. Quality, not quantity.

Karen, I did that too, with the same results though not so heavily imbalanced. I continue to find it amusing that the only piece that had me registering as 'female' was the one on Richard Clarke (who annoys me). Was that because I was being b*tchy?
My funnier pieces tended to come out female but they were all shorter than 500 words so I discounted them. But this raises an interesting point: could the National Review be wrong - could women possibly be capable of some primitive form of humor? :)

Amazing. I come out as very clearly male. I never thought my use of "some" and "the" would give me away!
Even this comment, including these very words, come out male. Creepy.

I'm also certifiably female, yet back in September the all-knowing Gender Genie decided I had twice as much testosterone as estrogen.

My super-girly, pink-wearing wife just put in some of her blog material. She came out strongly male. This delighted her, since she can't stand the way women write.

I keep coming up as male too, even though I'm female.

Cialis is an erectile dysfunction drug that has overcome its more famous predecessor Viagra in different parts of the world in terms of total sales. This means that Cialis is also developing its base in terms of consumer satisfaction. If we go deep into the cialis speak we will come to know that there are certain very major and influential plus points of Cialis over Viagra. Hence it is not surprising that it has been able to overcome the popularity charts of its five years older brother Viagra.
