I am a man. 

Was reading through the New York Times when I saw this very interesting link. Called the Gender Genie, it is created from an algorithm that can predict a writer’s gender based on a small sample of writing. However, this assessment is meant for fiction and not blog entries or news articles.

Well, the result is….I’m a MALE! Congratulations! After 22 years of believing that I am female (and hence attributing my flaws/virtues to the fact that I am woman), it seems that I write like man.

Oh crap.

"Compared with me, a tree is immortal;

And a flowerhead not tall, but more startling

And I want one's longevity and the other's daring."

-- Sylvia Plath's "I am Vertical"
