And the idiocy of assigning masculinity or feminine to inanimate objects.

Even worse, various European languages can't even agree on the gender for an object. Example: the moon -- the French and Germans assign different genders to that noun. Maybe that is why they are so historically antagonistic -- if you can't agree on the moon's sex, WHAT CAN you agree on?

They can agree they don't like each other and like the US less than anyone.
