I Write Like A Boy
I was reading Respectful of Otters and was fascinated by the discussion about Rivka’s gender based on her writing style. Via some Language Log posts about Rivka’s writing style, I found the Gender Genie, that analyzes writing for gender differences.
According to the Gender Genie, I’m male. I analyzed two posts, one on the nature of evil (Words: 635 Female Score: 715 Male Score: 1580) and post on an NPR news piece on South Africa (Words: 250 Female Score: 344 Male Score: 583)
So. I write like a boy.
And I don’t care.
