Well, I'm close to that side of the fence, too...there may be some benefits
to gender analysis, but would it really go that far in solving the riddle of
questionable authors? If you're only choice is two men, what will that
prove?
Next, they'll be saying that "female" writing is better than "male" writing,
or vice-versa...and, inevitably, every company must hire two writers, a male
and a female, to optimize communication with the target audience. After that
will be a debate over female coders vs male coders, and which gender is best
for programs...Inevitably, there will have to be a mating, and won't *that*
merge be interesting.
