Interesting results, Lo and Maryann.

I just tried a Catherine Mansfield short story = "Female"

Everything I put in of mine = "Male" (by a long way)

But a short story from Joseph Conrad = "Female"

Weird.

Maryann, I don't think that it's just the presence of those key words, but the frequency with which they are used that determines the gender.

Anyway, the site was just a way into the discussion.
