Anyone happening by this blog would have no problem identifying that the author is female, where the title and picture are dead giveaways. But according to the Gender Genie, more times than not, my writing is pegged at "male". According to their site:

Words: 702
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)
Female Score: 665
Male Score: 773
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

I put in two different Hump Day posts. The one where I talk about material possesions was skewed heavily female. The one where I rant about news and gossip was skewed heavily male.
