I haven't played the genie game yet, but you can find all kinds of literature these days on the differences between male and female writing (Writing a Woman's Life, by Carolyn Heilbrun, is a good example).

I have always been reluctant to believe in such differences, being of Coleridge's opinion that great minds are androgynous, but what can you do when you're up against science and computers?

PS: I suggest that someone with more time on his hands than I have feed the genie some selections from detective novels by men & women & see what comes back.
