Okay, after threatening, I had a go at hacking up a smiley gender detector for lesswrong irc.
Looking at the counts of smileys-per-message by nick, no obvious pattern.
Looking at averages:
male avg 0.015764359871 female avg 0.0194180023583
The dataset I'm using is so male dominated I don't think the results can be particularly meaningful.
How are you determining gender of users?
The number of female users is so small I just hardcoded known female nicks.
As I say, I don't think the results are particularly meaningful.
