    Interesting,
    I clear Firefox’s private data every time I quit the app to cut down on data mining my browser by sites and to stop the leaching of my private information for others gain (here’s looking at you Google!). So, I happened to go straight to this site to get some info on TPACK for a project, saw this post and decided to see what would gender I’d be only having visited punyamishra.com & of course the prediction site. It predicted:

    Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 50%
    Likelihood of you being MALE is 50%

    Does that mean your site is gender neutral?
