Thanks to Laura, I have a new favorite pastime: plug bloggers into the Gender Genie, a years-old magic page that tells me (with numbers!) how much of a woman they are without the bother of actually asking. So, for example, when I submit JH’s love letter to Ann Coulter to the Gender Genie, it tells me he’s a chick by 100 points. Here are the scores of other bloggers of both more and less distinction:
| Blogger | Text | Gender | Point Differential |
|---|---|---|---|
| GKB | Hating on house church | Dude | 197 |
| Matthew Yglesias | Hating on liberals’ domestic policy hopes | Dude | 611 |
| Caleb Crain | Dashing the hopes of the New Republic against a wall of data | Dude | 598 |
| Lizardbreath | On how hippies are good indicators of the right way to think of things | Chick | 331 |
| Ogged | Giving unsolicited advice about weight loss | Chick | 300 |
| Unfogged | Last week | Dude | 2539 |
| Mona | Hating on Dinesh D’Souza | Dude | 36 |
| JTB | On a creationist paleontologist | Chick | 49 |
| The TAPPED collective | March 2007 to-date | Dude | 27257 |
| The Corner | Today’s front page | Dude | 1794 |
| Scott Eric Kaufman | Being somewhat supportive of n+1’s wanking on litblogs | Dude | 773 |
| ME | On Bong hits 4 Jesus | Dude | 210 |
| Kris | On purity balls | Chick | 84 |
| Belle Waring | Kicking pseudofeminist ass and taking names | Dude | 351 |
Okay, but my post on Doctor Who and the posthuman is “male.” Just to set the record straight.
and since I know you’ll clean up the link for me, here it is:

bummer! that link doesn’t go to my results. you’ll have to do the test again yourself.

Yeah, it doesn’t link to results, unfortunately—if it did, I’d be doing this all the time.
For the record, your score on Dr. Who was Dude, with a point differential of 1202, which is super!
