Some languages just don't have any genders which is better

Armenian and Persian are the main Indo European languages that don't have even gendered pronouns. English got halfway there by dropping gendered nouns. The original Indo European language gender was based on if something had a spirit or not, not male or female. It changed into that binary selection early enough that even Sanskrit is gendered with male/female nouns

Korean is one such language.
