There are a few studies regarding the automatic detection of the gender of a handwritten document
"Studies"? All that's needed is a study of elementary grammar. Simply look at the nouns and pronouns.
Masculine gender: he, him, his, waiter, steward, etc.
Feminine gender: she, her, hers, waitress, stewardess, etc.
Neuter gender: it, its, automobile, etc.

It’s not a completely frivolous exercise. Note that the target language is Arabic. The sponsors likely want to be able to identify the gender of US-bashing drivel for profile purposes. It’s also interesting from a statistical perspective.
