A new and entertaining website that I have discovered is genderanalyzer. It uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman.
So I ran 20 or so blogs through it, and had some interesting results.
Only one blog (Renegade Parent) was assessed as being probably written by a woman. The others came out as probably written by men.
The most masculine blog was that of Ian Parker-Joseph, the leader of the Libertarian Party, at 90% masculine. No surprises there. When it comes to separating the men from the boys among party leaders, Mr. Parker-Joseph is obviously a real man.
The second most masculine blog, perhaps a little more suprisingly, was Anna Racoon, at 88% masculine. Hmmm.
Depending on what the most recent post happens to be, the gender rating may change a little. My blog was 64% masculine the first time I tried it, but the second time, I got "We think http://themarmaladesandwich.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (62%)."
Close. But one couldn't really expect "We think http://themarmaladesandwich.blogspot.com/ is written by a young bear gentleman."

Yes - today it is 62% certain I am male!
My blog was also only 62% male. Damn, I thought I was more macho than that!
Interesting. "We think http://www.realstreet.co.uk is written by a man (64%)."
Should I check out Anna Racoon's blog for tips on how to be more of a man?
My old blog: "We think http://www.thelabourparty.org/ is written by a man (78%)".
Still not enough to risk picking a fight with Ms Racoon :-)
