Notes I made as I was making choices:
1 - male
2 - male
3 - male too stupid to realize he's a male,
4 - female too stupid to realize she's a female
5 - female (and the worst writer imaginable)
6 - male (also really bad)
7 - female
8 - male
9 - male (women don't have the good sense to use dashes)
10 - female with only one working lobe, or a very weird male ("his feet shod in moccasins" is a phrase no male should utter unless he just likes getting beat-up a lot)
I got six of ten. I wish I could be shocked at how bad the writing was in every one of these examples, but I'm not. One more reason to stay away from modern authors.
