I write like a dude.

Some egghead came up with an algorithm that analyzes writing samples to determine the sex of the author. It's called "The Gender Genie." I gave it portions of three of the reviews I've recently written, and each time, it "guessed" I was male. This doesn't bother me. If anything, I take a small amount of pride in the fact that I don't write like a stereotypical girl, whatever that means. But I'm wondering--is this thing just whacked out? Try out some of your own stuff (it has settings for fiction, nonfiction, and blog post) and let me know what your results are.
