I've found that most of the time, just pick the most sexist answer you can think of, and you'll typically be right!
I really don't like gendered languages.
You'd love German – there is absolutely zero system or logic behind what word has which of the three genders.
three?!
German is woke
It totally isn't unfortunately, the gender neutral pronoun (if that's what it's called?) doesn't work for humans.
oh, it does work...
...if you're bigoted enough.
Or if you're so progressive that you know how to Entgendern nach Phettberg.
The neuter pronoun ("it") doesn't work for humans in English either.
Yeah, but in English you don't go around and label EVERYTHING with the other two genders (only if you're a bit weird and pretend your car is a she or something) and our they is the same as the female pronoun (sie), which makes that unusable as well.
Why not though? Just because it sounds rude or something?
Yes.
