Funniest example I know is how vagina is masculine in French.

In Spanish some words for vagina are femenine and some masculine. The same happens with penis.

La vagina, la concha, el coño. How many more are there?

El chocho, el chichi, la chirla, la almeja, el papo, el potorro, ...

And "beard" in Russian (борода, baraDA) is feminine.

Also in latin languages. I suspect it may be common to all indoeuropean languages
