    Gizmodo Writers: Mostly Girlie-Men?

    Who says Gizmodo doesn't appeal to women? According to the Gender Genie, a website/parlor game that claims to be able to tell the gender of the writer of any text you paste into its interface, we write like a bunch of girls. Well, most of us. Apparently, Travis, Lam and I (Charlie) are the only Gizmodians with any balls! Here's the breakdown:

    My esteemed colleagues have called for a recount, because of course very few of our posts are the full 500-word length recommended by the Gender Genie. But still, do we write like girlie men? We'll have to start reading more Hemingway.
