kunstarniki. It's a tool that analyses your writing and attempts to determine whether the author is male or female. Link here.
For the first one, I put in most of a fiction tidbit that I wrote recently (not part of AGL, maybe a piece of a new story).
Words: 1024
Female Score: 1677
Male Score: 1139

For the second, I pulled in about half of the lastest AGL chapter.

But the scores are a lot closer than the first time. The first passage is a love scene, the second is setting up a battle . Random chance? Or not?
Finally, I tested it on a fairly long LJ entry.

Interesting. I would think that personal writing would be more likely to come out correct, not less.
The author of the site claims that the algorithm should have an 80% hit rate, but the results on the site are lot farther off, not quite 60%. Hm.

I think it's because we have these associations with "feminine" as being "weak". Which is stupid, but so culturally ingrained.

Yeah, unfortunately that's what I initially thought.

Re: I
I do tend to come out feminine on "what gender is your brain" type tests, but just barely.
Definitely an interesting exercise. Thanks for finding it!
