Not to be a dick, but you may be guilty of a little benign sexism yourself there... the author is a woman.
- johndavidback 13y ago> Not to be a dick Not to be a dick, but doesn't saying Not to be a dick mean you're being a dick but saying it's okay?
- glesica 13y agoHehe, yeah... sorry for that.
- zenocon 13y agosure, i assumed wrong..stand corrected, but benign sexism...i'm just going to respectfully disagree.
- evincarofautumn 13y agoShe first mentions such halfway through the article, and her writing style is masculine. Even I guessed (not assumed) male until that point. <shrug>
- esperluette 13y agowhat does "her writing style is masculine" even MEAN?
- evincarofautumn 13y agoDunno, now that you mention it. There’s some research[1] that correlates word choice and grammatical structure with author gender, predicting gender with ~80% accuracy. Presumably I do something like that without thinking about it. [1]: Shlomo Argamon, Moshe Koppel, Jonathan Fine, and Anat Rachel Shimoni: Gender, Genre, and Writing Style in Formal Written Texts
