German grammar could not deal gender neutral nouns and adjectives.

German grammar is so highly structured about the gender of the words that it would fall apart if they tried to enforce gender neutral anything.

Then the German language must die and be replaced by a gender neutral Newspeak, for the rainbow hath spoken.

I think other languages have the same issues, with gender nouns and adjectives.

will those languages evolve, to make the radical feminist types happy?

Does English have any such gender issues?
