FWIW: There's a paragraph in the current _Science_ that mentions "Winnow", a program by some .il researchers that guesses the sex of authors by their writing. They claim 80% accuracy on general lit and 74% accuracy on 30 science papers.
(Of course that's over a baseline of 50%...)
Maybe they'd do better if they guessed their "gender preference" instead of their sex :-) Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
