Does Your Browser History Reveal Your Gender?

I have a 37% likelihood of being female, apparently. This is my breakdown:

I've no idea I was at the Torygraph recently - it's not a site I frequent very often.

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 42%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 58%

I have a 67% likelihood of being female, having recently visited the female-dominated Myspace, Livejournal, Facebook, Current.com and Southwest Airlines.

I can kind of get why social networking sites have more female than male visitors, but it seems odd that the male-female ratio for southwest.com is 0.77.

It guessed my gender correctly, which didn't really surprise me, as I spend a lot of time at knitting/crocheting websites (although none of them turned up on my "list"). I've fooled other gender-guessing internet thingies before, but apparently my browsing habits are girly. :D

On the whole, though, I find myself deeply unimpressed with this system, since the websites that turned up on my list are not at all representative of where I spend my time:

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 78%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 22%

I've been to netzero and ebaumsworld exactly ONE time each, and none of the other sites are ones I visit regularly, except Amazon. Well, and Webkinz, because my son goes there a lot. But none of the sites where I spend most of my time turned up here.

I will also say that I'm laughing about Mapquest being considered a girly website (unless I'm misreading the ratio thingy) . . . is it really true that men still won't ask for directions, even from the internet? ;)

I have 73% chance of being male which a 71 year old retired lady is kind of uplifting.

GS - Why on Earth did you subject yourself to this in the first place?!! I flat refuse to encourage dumb (and in this case sexist) surveys as a matter of principle.

Bob OH - "it's not a site I frequent very often"

Do you want to rephrase that? It's too early in the morning for my mind to be played with so cruelly!
