Try the Gender Genie.

Shove some of your writing into it (more than five hundred words) and see what the results are.

For example I fed a bit of one of my Georges stories into it and it decided a woman wrote it.

Are you gonna have to drop trou and defend your honor, baby?

OK, did a few of mine.

Female, female, female.

It's a fun toy.

I tried a couple of mine and the thing said, "TILT"

So far, I'm female, but it really had to think about the last one. I think it was peeking up my dress just to make sure.

I've got to try this once I get back to the office.

I wonder what algorithm they are using to make the choices though.

It gives you a breakdown when it analyses your prose. There's about twenty keywords it uses that have been 'determined' to be gender heavy or specific.

There's links to a couple of articles about this.

I posted the first paragraph of a Lit story I'm rewriting. It said old Rumple's a gal (Female Score: 141 - Male Score: 70) Since my narrator is female, I suppose that's a very good thing. Here's the paragraph:


The first thing you need to know is that my mother is always right. Not sometimes or most of the time, but always right. Like today. Thanks to her, I'm now about halfway between Sears and totally broke, sitting alone in the mall's noisy food-court while she finishes shopping and getting her nails done, eating a tasteless salad, and wondering why I let her con me into getting dressed and driving into town to shop with her the day after Thanksgiving, the busiest shopping day of the year.

It says my fiction is female, but my non-fiction is male. Go figure.

Rob, apparently we have something else in common ... Gender Genie says I'm a woman too
Scarry thing was 3 of the 4 I submitted to the Genie were written from a first-person male narrative

 

[glynndah]

Hmm. It missed on Shopping for Sex Toys...

 

[OhMissScarlett]

lol, it says robs a female and tells me I'm male.

That's the same thing that happened to Carson and me. LOL.

 

[Liar]

I've done this before. When I write in 1:st person I'm a guy. When I write in 3:rd person, I'm a girl.

 

[Sapphire_O]

That was cool. I got female everytime, no matter if the main character was male or if it was nonfiction or fiction. Good to know I'm a girly girl.

Although I had one prof say that female-esque writing was weak writing asd we should all try harder to write like men. This in a room of 75% female writers.

I'm still waiting for Rob to publicly prove his gender.

sooooo some of my male friends are females and some of my female friends are males.


I'm so confused!!!!

If she thinks that's bad, I put Shanglan's writing into it and it came back ZEBRA!

 

[slyc_willie]

Apparently, I am a transsexual . . .

My male vs. female points come out less than 50 points apart on the four pieces I fed it.

Hmm . . . .

 

[CeriseNoire]

Female for my fiction, male for the work stuff.

 

[galaxygoddess]

I know someone who ran a bunch of his own excerpts through it and about 50% of them came out male and about 50% came out female.

 

[gauchecritic]

My two attempts at female pov came out as female. Which I was rather pleased with.

My two sci-fi stories came out as male. I've no idea if that means anything.

All the rest of my stories came out as female

 

[Bizkit_Writer]

holy moly! i put a passage of a story I'm working on and it said it was MALE! But I'm a girl.....
