Default "To speak of woe that is in marriage"

The GG nailed this one:

Quote:
Words: 108
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 12
Male Score: 132

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
Who did Rabbie Lowell think he was fooling?

...

I will add that the Genie consistently identified my prose as male, and that this disappointed me, but that I think Mark gives it too much credit with his question about a 'complex computer programme.' Surely this silly website is not the be-all and end-all in gender identification technology. One day I hope we may develop the resources to prove that Sappho was really a man.
