You would hate french as hell.

Any language with gendered nouns is dumb, but at least most of them are consistent.

English originally had grammatical gender and pronouns were the only ones to retain that system because, like I said, people have genders.

But why not just axe it off? "They" works as well as or even better than "he" and "she".

Because it's really helpful in conversations with multiple people.

Do you not speak or something?

Are French and Spanish people in a constant state of confusion whenever a third person steps into a conversation or story?
