yeah, I'm displacing and anxious, why do you ask?

Scalzi went and did the gender genie, and was smug about the answers he got -- he put in something he wrote from a female perspective and got a female answer -- so naturally, since I ought to be doing a dozen other things, I did too, and got the result that my fiction -- four samples -- came out male, and my blog entry, female.

Well, I've been writing about men, here lately.

See, even though the thing is apparently 72% accurate in the kinds of samples they're getting, I don't believe it's true over all the spread of writing, because a whole lot of writing is very specifically conventional. You're not going to get much difference in the use of "the" and "where" when you're dealing with scientific reports, for example.
