Man of Depravity is Written By a Woman

2009 January 30

by Tyler

I found a website this week called Gender Analyzer. The basic concept is that it analyzes whether a blog is written by a man or a woman. So I head over there and lo-and-behold it says that this blog is written by a woman. I’m ashamed of myself.

It would be one thing if it was about 50% certain…BUT 98%. You’ve got to be kidding me!!!

Something has gone dreadfully wrong here.

What does it score your blog as?

but all those posts about your wife and you calling her hot…hmm

Heh…well, you *did* have that post about being metro…

Both my blogs come up as solidly male. Must be all the bathroom humor.
Karen

That is hysterical. Does the “Man” in “Man of Depravity” count for anything? And–like I don’t have enough problems in my life right now–I’m only 71% female. Swell. KS

Don’t worry Tyler. We know you’re okay. Mine says 91% male but I was expecting a much lower number because I talk about love so much.
Yonas

Well….I think there’s always that inner woman in all of us men. Some let it comes out in various ways.

Let me ask you this…do you have a murse?

Ouch… I got 73% chance mine is written by a woman… What the heck is wrong with their algorithms. Don’t then know a strange sense of humor like mine is a male thing?

Take heart http://aoundthescuttlebutt.blogspot.com/ by a hardcore vietnam vet came up 52% women…

First of all, Tyler, you’re a pretty passionate guy…so um, yeah, I’m not surprised….wink

As for mine?- “We guess http://ash-nits.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman (59%), however it’s quite gender neutral.”

I guess I pass the “journalist” test too…wink!

Yonas…do YOU have a murse?

All this makes me feel better, but I still can’t get over the 98% indicator. I know I have longer hair, but COME ON!
Yonas

Ash- NO I do not. I do have a couple pink shirts, but that only puts me in the ‘fashionly open minded’ category…along with reading Vogue and Glamour(NO I did NOT subcribe, I just read a couple issues of them).

We think http://melindalgroth.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman (67%).

Good for you Yonas, on the couple of pink shirts! Josh is certain that he meets more women, when he wears his pink shirts…so he has a number of them (many more than you). What’s more, it has been shown in test situations, Yonas, that males who wear pink or yellow are usually considered trustworthy, confident and caring, by the females who view their pictures.

Oh Tyler, I feel your pain. It thinks that AWorshipfulHeart is written by a man (55%) although it is “quite gender neutral”. Great. Just what I need for my detractors to see. haha (you may not remember the whole gender neutrality discussion)

For what it’s worth, I think I write entirely girly so I have no idea what it looks for. I mean I am a sensitive, emotive, girly girl.

I’ve never thought your blog was the least bit feminine……..but I do think you show great sensitivity. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing.

I was a woman by 78%. So I guess I’m less of a woman than you are. I’m not sure how that makes me feel. I’d be pretty embarrassed if it was 98% though. Maybe you should cuss more.
http://jimdrake.com jim Drake

I scored a 65% WOMAN. Wow, Tyler I guess talking about Eagles and trees and stuff is pretty womanly! I agree with Ross. Cussing might throw them off! Or is it the haircut?
http://manofdepravity.com Tyler

Cussing…hmm, that is interesting. I don’t know of any pastors who have cussed and been successful..o wait…right, that might work.
http://ash-nits.blogspot.com ash

yonas reads glamour! ha ha ha….! and i don’t even own a pink shirt, sounds like you enjoy getting in touch w/ your feminine side! wink
http://brentinworship.com/blog brent(inWorship)

Haha!

I am 57% man. I can live with that.
Yonas

Melinda,
Sadly for me…wearing pink has not scored me any dates…maybe my pink hat throws them off.

I DO have my yellow and orange shirt (you’ve seen them)…but my experience is that rather than being viewed as trustworthy and caring…I have been misunderstood as being…hmm how do I say this ‘euro’.

Ash- I’d like to argue with you on this, but I have a facial spa and tea tree appointment at 3:00.

Sorry for the post hi-jack tyler!
Jill

Just out of curiosity…. I put in Jay’s blog… he’s only 68% woman. Sorry Jay.
I am at least more of a woman than Jay. My blog came out 72% woman. You WIN Tyler!
http://seth.heasley.net/blog Seth

I suppose it could be interpreted as bragging if I pointed out that I scored 81 and 82% on my blogs. So I shouldn’t mention it…
http://seth.heasley.net/blog Seth

Oh…that’s the male percentage, BTW…
http://www.jenniclayville.com Jenni Clayville

HA!!!

Mine is 55% man. Gender-neutral is what it said.
