Sometimes it's hard to be a woman















"On the internet, there is a new website that claims to be able to tell you, with 80% accuracy, whether a piece of writing has been done by a man or by a woman. It uses a computer programme developed by a team of Israeli scientists after an exhaustive study of the differences between male and female use of language.

The website is called the Gender Genie, and its address is bookblog.net/gender/genie.html. To discover whether an article has been written by a man or by a woman, all you have to do is to paste it into a window on the website and then ask it for its opinion."
