 <description>&lt;p&gt;Regender is cute. I became Elmer and my husband became Edna. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Gender Genie and the Pay Gap: Feminist blogs</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Bipolar View&lt;/b&gt; writes an &lt;a href=&quot;http://thebipolarview.wordpress.com/2007/04/15/cymbalta-sucks-ass-eli-lilly-executives-are-asses/&quot;&gt;open letter to Eli Lilly&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Your product, Cymbalta, sucks ass and should not be promoted for human consumption. You know which product I&#039;m referring to, don&#039;t you? The same drug that you&#039;re pushing off-label as an effective remedy for pain? You really shouldn&#039;t be doing that when you have no credible evidence to support your argument.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Elaine Vigneault&lt;/b&gt; combines &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elainevigneault.com/2007/04/21/pet-food-joost-gender-and-internet-democracy.html&quot;&gt;Joost, gender, and more&lt;/a&gt; in a single post. She refers to &lt;a href=&quot;http://bookblog.net/gender/genie.php&quot;&gt;The Gender Genie&lt;/a&gt;, which claims to be able to predict the gender of the author. Simply copy and paste text from your blog to see the verdict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For some reason I can&#039;t get too excited by this program, probably because I don&#039;t feel challenged by it or that I&#039;m stretching myself. I&#039;m more intrigued by &lt;a href=&quot;http://regender.com/index.html&quot;&gt;regender&lt;/a&gt; because it seems like it wants to shake things up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thoughts of an Average Woman&lt;/b&gt; blogs about a new study in &quot;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://toaaw.typepad.com/toaaw/2007/04/paygap_widens_o.html&quot;&gt;Pay-Gap Widens Over Time&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve discussed the pay-gap between men and women (for the same work, same education) in the past, and basically, women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes.  But, this &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070423/ts_nm/work_dc;_ylt=A0WTcUZpHy1G1s4Acwys0NUE&quot;&gt;new study&lt;/a&gt; shows an even worse situation.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
