It highly depends on the corpus and you can check for yourself.

I'm being lazy, but the results for Gutenberg books you can check online at http://labs.statsbiblioteket.dk/dsc/

- man is to woman as doctor is to reprovingly (nurse is the first noun, on position 4) - woman is to man as doctor is to snodgrass (after a couple nonsense/rare words)

The most important thing that teaches us is that big corpora (bigger than PG) are essential for this method.
