It was 79% sure my blog was written by a man but it was 74% sure my girlfriend's blog was written by a man as well.

I'm not impressed.

You need a larger sample size before being impressed or unimpressed. If it's 74% sure of something, it should be wrong a quarter of the time; if not, its confidence estimate was too low.
It's 57% sure http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman, too.
