Almost all of the English language has no gender, but as soon as you start talking people, words suddenly have genders. I know English isn't known for consistency, but come on.

Yes, but it's the only language where pronouns are the only words to have genders. --- "Never seen a group of people more obsessed with a man's naked, hairy ass than the men at Current Events." -SBAllen 2018 We live in a society ...

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

Garioshi posted..."They" works as well as or even better than "he" and "she". If you're speaking of a person of an unspecified gender, you use the singular "they". It's pretty widespread, and I'm sure you wouldn't notice it in everyday conversation --- "Never seen a group of people more obsessed with a man's naked, hairy ass than the men at Current Events." -SBAllen 2018 We live in a society ...
