    Yes, female in german, idc about french but i suspect it’s the same.

    Is it stupid we’ve done this for all nouns? Yes.

    Do I judge you subconsciously if you use it wrong? Also unfortunately yes.

      In French, we have different synonyms for that :

      • “machine à laver”, which is female
      • “lave-linge”, which is male
      • “laveuse” (Québec only), which is female

      Why do they have different gender for the same thing ? Because, insert your favorite expletive word, that’s why !

          If you’re going to be misogynist, maybe you could at least throw stones from a house that isn’t made of glass. Since, you know, women have for a long time been the ones responsible for cooking your food, washing your clothes, cleaning your house, and for the first few years of your life, wiping your ass.

            Meanwhile, men have for a long time been the ones responsible for putting food on the table, paying the rent, building houses, cars, etc. and maintaining them, going to war to defend the country, mowing the lawn, and keeping society running.

            Also, hilarious of you to accuse me of misogyny and then basically saying “women are responsible for doing traditionally female jobs”. LOL.

            LMAO, even.

                Perhaps in the past, but nowadays women are totally free to become soldiers, farmers, butchers, construction workers, electricians, bus drivers, or garbage collectors. Yet all of those jobs are still overwhelmingly done by men. And if men didn’t do them, there would be no houses, no roads, no electricity, and no food.

                  Men sexually harass women who do those things in the workplace, and they still have to cook your food and wipe your bum when they get home

                    No, they do not. Women do not have to stay in abusive relationships. They can go to court and get a restraining order, a divorce, or sue their employer if they are harassed at the workplace. No one is forcing them to stay in these types of situations. If they chose to do so anyways, they have no one but themselves to blame.
