I don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.

Ok but like Italian assigns gender to words randomly and on a whim.

[–] Draghetta 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly, my point was that word genders are meaningless
