I’m confused….
I had to wonder when Christie at Observations of a Nerd proclaimed that she was actually a man. I mean, I have never met her, but from previous postings etc., I was pretty sure the author of the blog was a female. However it seems her writing is decidedly male, at least according to one analysis.
According to the site GenderAnalyzer.com, which analyzes the gender of the author of a site based on their writings, I also may have an identity issue to deal with on top of GRE’s, Grad school applications, etc…
It seems Eclectic Echoes is decidedly gender neutral. (Technically 53% male).
Larval Images is decidedly male at a ranking of 74% male, and
The Other 95% is comparatively dripping with testosterone at 84% male.
Of course since I blog at TO95% with Kevin, I decided to analyze his other sites as well.
Deep Sea News (with co-bloggers Craig McClain and Peter Etnoyer) scores strongly male, but at 81%
I also tried Kevin’s home page, but according to the analyzer it is not written in English (?!) so it could not complete the analysis.
Unfortunately without a site exclusively authored by Kevin, I don’t think there is a solid way to break out each author’s effects accurately.
Aside from the fact they probably need more training data for increased accuracy, what conclusions can you draw? (While I get back to studying aggregate supply and demand curves and writing a paper on oxygen isotopes and global climate analysis)

LOL, I guess the Gender Analyzer doesn’t speak to pages made in Mac applications?
I’m not surprised Eclectic Echoes came up gender neutral. It may be your site, but you asked me to contribute, so it’s half male and half female. We balance and compliment each other.
So which half is eric? ;p
Ah, the confusion is resolved! Thanks, Tammy!!
You were confused – how about me!? I mean, I swore I was a woman for years… it was quite a shock to learn I was actually a man. I’ve been working on my football terminology, beer drinking and overall lack of hygiene since
