It's not just you. Computer programs also think I'm not as girly as I should be.
The Gender Genie is a great online tool that takes a piece of writing and analyzes keywords to determine if the author is most likely male or female.
The conclusion? Gender Genie has no idea what I am. Some posts came out more female, others more male. All of them were borderline. Not shocking news.
Coworkers have always treated me like "one of the guys", which, in the software industry, means they feel comfortable saying disgusting things about women when I'm in the room. I have baffled many-a-boyfriend by not fitting into the role they've tried to shove me into. A clairvoyant in Peru even told me that I'd been a man in most of my past lives.
I'm not sure what I am supposed to be like. Should I spend more time on my hair? Should I stop tracking the stock market? Should I support Hillary rather than Ron Paul? I make potato chips from scratch, for God's sake. Isn't that enough?
Not according to Gender Genie - this post was definitely written by a man.
Raw food dish of the week - Potato Chips
I cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices with a mandolin, which is a device used to cut chips, french fries, and other fun food shapes. Then tried out three different varieties of chips.
Plain: Just sweet potatoes, with nothing on them, dehydrated for 15 hours.
Cheesy chips: Sweet potatoes, marinated in Braggs Liquid Aminos, water, and nutritional yeast, dehydrated for 15 hours.
Chips a la John: Sweet potatoes, marinated in Braggs, pressed garlic, and pressed olives (pressed through a garlic press), dehydrated for 15 hours.

The gender tester couldn't peg my writing either. I thought my more personal/fuzzy posts would be solidly female, but no. Maybe I should make my own. If it contains the words "I'm sorry" or "chartreuse" then you'd get an automatic female designation...letter/number combos like "B-1" "M80" or "30-06" would get you an automatic male rating.
