If you wanted to be more or less confident of this, you could try running some of what (s)he wrote through that application that guesses your gender from how you write stuff.
EDIT: I put the paragraphs quoted into http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php#Analyze http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php#Analyze
Genre: Informal
Female = 1683
Male = 1466
Difference = -217; 46.55%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE
Weak emphasis could indicate European.
Site carries this disclaimer: The system generates a simple estimate (profiling). While Gender Guesser may be 60% - 70% accurate, it is not 100% accurate. This is better than random guessing (50%), but should not be interpreted as "fact".
- adnam 13y agoThe prose sounds like a schoolgirl wrote it: "At first I thought it was fun, I thought it was weird but maybe I would mess with them or something and freak them out and tell them I was a guy or something..." (Without wishing to offend females of school-attending age)
- jules 13y agoWow. I'm stunned by how well that works. I've copy pasted 5 male and 5 female paragraphs, and it got every single one correct.
- taspeotis 13y agoThe last time I used it in earnest I did not have anywhere near the results you are describing. So my own personal perception of it is that it's probably as accurate as they say it is. More than 50% but less than 60-70%.
