For example; a black hole..is it male or female ?
Pretty childish question, right? but isn't assuming a gender must apply to angels and to God is an ambiguous, medieval mentality?
A lot of languages assign genders (or at least the masculine or the feminine) to inanimate objects, so that's really not a childish attribute.
Check out the Spanish language.
That is true. I know that french is like that.
For example,
la chaise (the chair. The chair is considered as feminine)
le table (the table. The table is considered as masculine)
la fille (the girl)
le garçon (the boy)

I think he should have asked
Is it logical? Is there a reasonable reason for
la chaise
le table
