THE LAST DITCH
GenderAnalyzer – Determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman.
This (apart from the infuriatingly prudish use of the grammatical term "gender" to distinguish between the sexes) is fun. The software was 63% sure that I am a man. Just follow the link and type in your blog's URL to have the benefit of its opinion on this critical issue.
It’s 81% certain that I’m a man.

Someone sent me a the result for my blog in my comments tonight (81% male). It made me smile, then I checked out my blog links and it made me LOL.

Yes, it is infuriating, isn’t it? I can only suppose that “sex” has come to mean, well, sexual relations, swiving, japing, tupping, etc. But what puzzles me is how these conventions arise. Nobody I know ever had the slightest embarrassment in speaking of the sex of a baby, or of a sheep or dog, or in filling in a box on a questionnaire that asked for “sex”; who decided that we ought to blush? And nowadays there is the dreadful euphemism “in a relationship”. Fortunately I have never been asked, but I am determined, if asked, to say I am in a relationship with my cat.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
