Gender is a product of language and has no objective relationship to sex. If you studied any other language that was highly gendered, like French or Hebrew, you would understand that. It does not follow that individuals get to pick and choose, like the Chestshire cat, what gendered words mean to them and have them mean whatever they want them to. A culture and the conventions of its language dictate usage...not individuals.
The French word tour [ = tower] is feminine. But I think it should be masculine, since towers look like big dicks.
So in the future everyone should have to make tour masculine. I have ruled.
Did you just show a sense of humor? I am in shock and awe.
