Found this really cool tool - Gender Genie. It uses an algorithm developed by a guy in Israel to evaluate text and determine if the author was male or female. It claims to have an 80% accuracy rate on entries over 500 words. I tested it on a number of blog entries made by fellow Baltibloggers and it got all but one right - anyone wanna try and guess which female friend writes like a guy?! (In her defense it did get her gender correct on 3 out of 4 entries I tried).

I input my latest blog entry (751 words),and it thought I was female. Oh well. But thats a cool link.
