Interestingly the Gender Analyser is 73% certain that this blog is written by a man. It then asks, "correct or incorrect?" to which it then reveals that it guesses correctly 53% of the time, and guesses incorrectly 47% of the time (according to user submitted verification). Well done that team.

But, see, I have some idea how these things work, having been curious about this sort of thing on and off. Sadly they do not publish their methodology but several of these things have been seen before and they've been more candid about their methods. 

It's about how often you use the word, "I" because, apparently, women will avoid this word and prefer to refer to others, or omit the use of "I" altogether. 

Also women are, apparently, more likely to add qualifiers - such as, "I feel" or "I believe" or "I think" and, "don't you think?" and "isn't it?" - or, I suppose, taking the first into account they'll say, "do you feel?" or "do you believe?". Yetch.

Because, you know, women never have an ego and women never feel able to express an opinion as an absolute. We speak in the language of selflessness, of deferring to others in matters of opinion and fact and considering ourselves unworthy topics of conversation.

Yeah whatever.
