Yes, but what if you're a man married to a man? Which one is the washing machine? 🤌
One of the few genders German and French agree on is that a machine is female.
So, if a man is considered to be a machine he is female in that field.

English is such a poor language that they only have the article The and nouns without genders.
Seethe and cope.
bullpies!
i don't like English, but those are things it does right!
who the hell needs TWELVE definite articles?!
Speakers of enlightened languages?
My native language doesn't have any articles and there is no distinction between he and she.
How progressive.

I like when the gender changes what the noun is. Here are a couple Spanish examples: la cometa = the kite (feminine) or el cometa = the comet (masculine) la papa = the potato (feminine) or el papa = the Pope (masculine).
Swahili has 18 genders, though only 16 are in active use.

female of course
Is it possible to bash your way though this, as a foreigner, by getting the gender wrong half the time? Are mis-genedered nouns sometimes homophones for completely different things, or can you be understood with bad grammar, regardless?
I say this since sometimes "bad/wrong" is less about understanding and more about "that sounds funny" or "nobody talks like that."
You will be understood, it will just give people a small pause.
Sometimes it may cause confusion, like "the phone (he) went through the washing machine (she) and now <she/he> is broken" changes meaning if you get the pronoun wrong. But then if you are used to disambiguate thIs kind of situation - and you have to in english - it shouldn't happen too often

For all of the shit people talk about the English language, this is a big thing I appreciate about it. What the hell was the point of even gendering random things from the start? In German, the main gendering are die, der, and das with das being gender neutral. I would like to see a world where in scenarios like that they just move everything to das.

Pierre-Frédérique-Antoine and Mike having llunch after french class. Mike : Oh wregaarde un mouche! PFA : non, on dit UNE mouche. Mike: wow t'as de bons zyeux!
no rules, no sens, only disdain
L'Académie Française existed since the 18th century to make the language too complex "for the common and the women"
Is that when they decided to make counting past 70 complicated?
no, I'm afraid I could not shift the blame on this one. Particularly when french speakers in Switzerland and Belgium show alternatives for a long time
