[lbo-talk] gender guesser and judith butler

[Michael Smith]

The first chapter of Fanny Trollope's Domestic Manners of the Americans 
came out more male than my stuff did -- a slightly uneasy feeling, that. 

Here's Fanny: 

Genre: Informal

  Female = 1230

  Male   = 2742

  Difference = 1512; 69.03%

  Verdict: MALE

Genre: Formal

  Female = 928

  Male   = 1388

  Difference = 460; 59.93%

  Verdict: Weak MALE

A random chapter of Grant's memoirs, not surprisingly I guess, got 
a decidedly thumbs-up male verdict. Sherman, also maybe not surprisingly, 
wasn't quite so ballsy.
