It always blew my mind that boats are a She, but heaven forbid we allow any women on board, they are unlucky. Like really!?

gendered language is kinda whack fr like why is a computer referred to as she in some languages, but then being able to choose what gendered words I use for myself in russian is a cool way to assert dominance

Interesting experiment: Ask translation software to translate “my manager”, “the cleaner”, etc. into a gendered language and see which one it chooses for each.
