  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
