Wow this is interesting! I'm male and knew all of the male words (some thanks to RPG games :)), but only one of the female ones: mascarpone (because I made tiramusu a few times :))
Note: English is not my native language and what I use English for is probably not biased towards the kind of words in the female list.

- prawn 12y agoThat was actually the one word out of the male and female lists I wasn't confident about. Probably could have guessed, but wouldn't bet the house on it.
- jrockway 12y agoI didn't know bottlebrush was a word, but I can guess what it is.
- nmc 12y agoAre you sure about that? [1 ] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufortia_(plant) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufortia_(plant)
- alexjh 12y agoI guessed too, and I was wrong. It's a kind of plant native to Australia.
- InclinedPlane 12y agoIt is also a type of incredibly common brush used for cleaning bottles.
- manicdee 12y ago… which the Australian native plant is named for.
- asgard1024 12y agoExactly the same result here, not a native speaker either. :-) (Except the only female word I knew was progesterone.)
