			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Boing Boing</strong> points us to a <a href="http://www.genderanalyzer.com/">Gender Analyzer</a> which asks the question, "Man or Woman: Who Is Writing That Blog?" The program is developed to use "Artificial Intelligence  to determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman" using a "text classifier" that's "been trained on 2000 blogs written by men and women."</p>
<p>So, where does<em> The Sexist's writing </em>fall on the gender spectrum?</p>
<p><span id="more-847"></span></p>
<p>Well, according to the program,<em> </em><a href="www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/"><em>The Sexist</em></a> is a man. <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/housingcomplex/"><em>Housing Complex</em></a>, written by my colleague <strong>Ruth Samuelson</strong>, also registers as man-powered.<em> City Paper</em>'s mixed-gender blogs&#8212;<a href="www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/blackplasticbag"><em>Black Plastic Bag</em></a> and <a href="www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk"><em>City Desk</em></a>&#8212;are classified as dudely, too. After the <em>City Paper</em> homepage&#8212;the Web site of a <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2008/10/24/man-madness-washington-city-paper-vs-washington-blade/">decidedly unmanly local newspaper</a>&#8212;<em>also</em> came up as male, I began to suspect that the machine was broken.</p>
<p>So I ran a <a href="http://daniellesteel.net/blog/index.php">sure-fire female blog</a>&#8212;one penned by noted romance author <strong>Danielle Steel</strong>&#8212;through the site. The program thinks it's written by a man.</p>
