While my two blogs came out as female; one at 76% and the other at 60%. Both wrong… as I am male. I think. To be honest I was rather surprised that it took only a few seconds and so I wondered if it is based on the name of the blog rather than a serious linguistic discourse analysis.

Well well this is all really interesting. 4 women with an outcome of male. Wonder if this shows that I am acquainted with a lot of blokey women? Or maybe, just maybe, it shows that gender cannot be determined through language use.
Strange thing is, ~I do think my blog LOOKS very girlie with its pinkish hues.

Same here, my blog was 78% male. Not sure what the 22% was, maybe the entries about Barbie?
