Does the genie know something we don’t?

While reading Fables of the reconstruction earlier we came across this post:

The Gender Genie is a program which analyzes text and determines whether it was written by a man or a woman, based on the occurence of certain key words. … It has been improved since then, and it seems like it works two-thirds of the time.

Always eager to see just how good a genie is, we decided to enter the text of ten articles written by our role model, Amber Pawlik. (Starting on the left side, the first 10 down to the comedy classic “The Gold Standard.”)

Genie says:

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

A perfect 10, congratulations!

I know all there is to know about the Amber Pawlik…
