I Think GenderAnalyzer was Created by a Man (100%)
While reading one of my favorite blogs, Womanist Musings, I came across a post of hers about this website, GenderAnalyzer, which tries to guess, basically, if your site is written by a man or a woman. Obviously, I was very interested in finding out if my site was written by a male or a female and apparently I am doing something right or very wrong because they got it right.
Now before you start saying that of course GenderAnalyzer said Menstrual Poetry was written by a woman; just look at the name! You would also conclude that Womanist Musings would have come up as written by a woman, given the fact that the word ‘woman’ is in the title, but no, it concluded that a man is behind that blog.
Perhaps it’s the amount of times I have used words such as vagina or abortion, although most of the people who have such a huge problem with that are oddly middle to eldery aged men, or maybe I really do just blog like a girl…

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
nice post, i wan to try this gender analyzer my self.
My site came back as probably written by a man but fairly gender neutral. The site is wrong about the gender.
I think I ended up throwing that ridiculous little test more traffic that I intended. It seems that whenever I do any of these gender tests online the answers always come back male. I really do wish we could see behind some of them. What traits have they assigned to male and what traits have they assigned to female. I think that would be far more fascinating than just seeing the failed results of their gender essentialist logic.
Wow that's odd, how have they managed to do that and why would people use it?
Hi,
Yes it is true that gender analyze is created by man but now womens are growing their power and money and beating the man world, they are more professional then man.
I'm a guy, and I like looking through your site, but MENSTRUAL POETRY, I KNEW before even clicking this link that it was written by a Woman. I want to try this thing
It also incorrectly thinks my blog was written by a male (79%), and like you this isn't an unusual result. I've done these stupid things several times over the years and the results are always the same.
Hmmmm….GenderAnalyzer is 77% sure my site is written by a man. I'm super curious about its engine and how it makes its determination.
Thanks for posting about this!!
Very nice Post
You have a nice page makes fun here.
According to Gender Analyzer and its sister sites, I am male, ISTP and write like William Shakespeare/ Mark Twain/ Oscar Wilde. No, no and no.
My woman
Nice post. My webpage came through as gender neutral. I wonder the sort of words that are considered male or female. Or is it the type of language constructs that are considered. This is interesting, particularly as in other languages words are distinguished as masculine and feminine in a more formal way – e.g french and german – I wonder if this would tie up wi the English version or would have any bearing.
I will try this gender analyzer!
I will try this Gender Analyzer. Anyway nice post.
Happy Thanksgiving Holly! BTW – I tried this gender analyzer thing. Says my blog was written by a male..but they were only 65% sure. Must have been that feminism post you put up months ago! LOL
Wow, this is really interesting stuff. Tried mine and few sites of my friends (I know there Gender LOL) got it 50% accuracy rate.
It was a great thing to know about that. Let me try that one. I want my blog to be analyze of that Gender Analyzer. Thanks for sharing. It was a nice idea to be published.

I think they assume that certain words are used by women more than men. Don't know how that works but oh well its fun.
I think a “woman” related blog has got very little to do with the sex of the writer… Even concerned men can write up pages after pages of articles containing words like abortion and vagina… as long as it has got some contribution! Interesting post!
ya you are right and i agree. I think that would be far more fascinating than just seeing the failed results of their gender essentialist logic.
Ha, well my site is all man (well 73% man anyway)
i wonder on what basis it differ between man and woman about witting a web page
My site is certainly neutral!
My site didn't have a chance of being neutral.
hi,
thanks a lot for sharing the information.

I think there are some kind of gender discrimination when it comes to differences on how they use things and do actions.
