Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense

Changing genders, when not speaking about a gender, is antiquated and should be removed from language rules.
In Thai men use different words than women. Men use Krub, women use Ka/kha, to end a sentence.
In Russia the wife has a different last name than the husband. Like, Igor Sechin, Yulia Sechina.

Also when the subject of a sentence is female, the verb sometimes has a female form.

For example
He went / Он шол
She went / Она шла

The Russian thing is the same in Czech. Also for some random reason when people talk in past tense you’re able to tell the gender of the speaker
